From The Guardian...

Birmingham are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Liverpool.

These sides have met in November nine times in all competitions since 1924 and seven of those encounters have ended in away wins.

Liverpool average one goal per game in matches where Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are both absent.

Lee Bowyer is three bookings short of equalling the Premier League record of 89 in a career set by Robbie Savage.

Emiliano Insua (height 1.65m) is currently the joint shortest (with Aaron Lennon) player in the division.
