Stats: Suarez targets several records Luis Suarez is one goal away from 30 for Liverpool this season and a strike at West Ham United on Sunday would see him break his own record - check out all of the pre-match facts and figures now. The No.7 needs one more goal to score more away goals for Liverpool than any other player in a Barclays Premier League season - he scored 12 last season to currently hold the record. The Uruguayan is two goals away from equalling the Premier League record for the most goals in a 38-game season, which is currently held by Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers in 1995-96) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United in 2007-08). If Suarez finds the net, it will become only the 10th occasion a Reds player has scored 30 league goals in a season, and he will be the first since Ian Rush in 1986-87 to reach the landmark. He and Daniel Sturridge have scored 49 league goals between them this season. Sturridge has netted 12 goals in his last 14 games since returning from injury. Should Sturridge score another goal this season, he will equal the clubs Premier League record - held by Robbie Fowler and set in 1994-95 - of finding the net in 19 games in a campaign. Jordan Henderson could play his 100th league game for Liverpool. The Reds are three goals short of recording a new club record of scoring 43 away goals in a league season. They have three games in which to do it. The previous high was set in 1946-47 in 21 games. In only two other campaigns have they scored more than 40 on the road - 41 in both 1895-96 (15 Division 2 games) and in 21 games in 1981-82. They are two goals short of recording 90 goals in a league campaign for only the eighth time in their history and for the first time in 50 years. English Barclays Premier League Pos.
