With the help of Opta, we pick out the best facts and stats from Saturday's Premier League football...

Lambert frustrates Liverpool again

Paul Lambert has a remarkable record at Anfield as a manager - he's not lost there in five visits. A 0-0 draw against Liverpool on Saturday was a welcome one for his struggling Stoke side and means he has now won twice and drawn three times on his away days there.

No manager has a better record than that at Anfield in the Premier League.

Leicester see red again

Marc Albrighton was shown a red card for the first time in eight years on Saturday, after hauling down Wilfried Zaha - but it has become a common occurrence for Leicester this season.

Albrighton's dismissal was the Foxes' fifth red card of the season - that's more than any other Premier League team - and proved a costly one in a heavy defeat.

WBA well looked after by caretakers

West Brom have produced a remarkable run of results under current caretaker boss Darren Moore, beating Newcastle 1-0 after drawing with Liverpool last week off the back of a tie with Swansea and win at Manchester United.

Moore West Brom stat

If you add that run to the undefeated two-game spell under Gary Megson earlier this season, West Brom's caretakers have a better record than their permanent managers Tony Pulis and Alan Pardew this term, who lost 18 of their 30 games in charge.
