MATCH PREVIEW
Us football commentators can become fascinated with stats but here's one of which my colleagues will be blissfully unaware - in the last five appearances on Match of the Day, my games have yielded a grand total of just five goals with the half-time cup of tea frequently one of the main highlights.
A couple of truly awful 0-0 results in that run have ensured very late slots on the programme with Gary Lineker and company stifling yawns.
So I make the trip to Anfield with a spring in my step and hopes high.
If I can use a Christmas analogy, and given the number of times I've heard Slade, Wizzard and The Pogues on the radio recently I think I can, then Luis Suarez promises to be my Santa Claus. His goals are to be my presents.
Here are some proper statistics for you. His four goals against Norwich on Wednesday marked his second hat-trick of the season and makes him the Premier League's top scorer with 13 to his name. Added to that, 10 of those have come in his four games at Anfield.
In his last 28 appearances for the club he's scored 29 times. And of course it's not just about quantity, what about the quality? The flying header against West Brom, his deadly accurate free-kick at Everton and then that audacious 40-yard half-volley over John Ruddy's head in midweek. All truly world-class strikes.
Charged with the task of trying to keep the Uruguayan quiet are West Ham, whose record at Anfield can only be described as pitiful. They have just three wins in 55 visits, their last coming when The Beatles topped the charts and Sam Allardyce was in short trousers kicking a tennis ball around in the playground at a primary school in Dudley.
Now lose that image quickly and return to 2013. The Hammers boss has seen his side lose three of their last four games, only last Saturday's much-needed 3-0 victory over fellow strugglers Fulham enough to keep them out of the relegation zone.
Tuesday night's defeat by Crystal Palace was a major blow. Already struggling for goals, suspension rules out top scorer Ravel Morrison from this one, Andy Carroll is still injured and even the normally reliable Kevin Nolan hasn't netted since the opening day of the campaign.
Big Sam would surely settle for a repeat of the goalless draw they got on Merseyside last April and with my current run in the commentary box that's always a possibility - especially as I've just discovered that Suarez has never scored against West Ham! Aaaargh! Last on again?
