Stats: Roberto Firmino on brink of Premier League history

Roberto Firmino will become the first Brazilian to score 50 Premier League goals if he nets against Arsenal on Saturday.

The No.9 bagged a hat-trick in the equivalent fixture at Anfield last season and has struck more goals against the Gunners than any other team - scoring eight times in eight outings.

Two goals for Firmino on Saturday would also see him become Liverpool's most prolific scorer against Arsenal in league history. Gordon Hodgson and Robbie Fowler are currently tied in first place on nine goals.
