Leicester halted Liverpool’s record undefeated run at Anfield at 63 matches in 1981. They can do it again this weekend
By Steven Pye for That 1980s Sports Blog

Liverpool’s 2-1 win over West Ham before the international break extended their unbeaten run at Anfield to 63 league matches. Jürgen Klopp’s men have a long way to go before they surpass Chelsea’s record of 86 league matches undefeated at home, which started under Claudio Ranieri in February 2004, lasted through José Mourinho’s first spell at the club and the tenure of Avram Grant before finally ending in October 2008 when Luiz Felipe Scolari was in charge.
Liverpool were the team that ended Chelsea’s run in 2008, Xabi Alonso scoring a deflected winner at Stamford Bridge. They may go on to challenge Chelsea’s record some time next year but, for now, they have the opportunity to make some history of their own. If they avoid defeat to Leicester on Sunday, they will break a 40-year-old club record that was established when Bob Paisley was in charge.
