Liverpool’s emergency left-back James Milner has been in fairly prolific form this season, scoring four times from the penalty spot, and his history would suggest he may notch again this weekend.

Milner has scored five times against Sunderland in his career, more than against any other team (he has also scored five against Hull, who he scored against twice this season.)

If he can carry on this trend, Liverpool will be well on their way to victory.
