Gerrard's BPL career in numbers for Liverpool
With the announcement of his impending exit from Anfield we break down his career so far
With the announcement that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will call time on his Barclays Premier League career at the end of the season, here is a chance to check out the number 8's numbers so far in his time at Anfield in the competition.
Gerrard's total of 116 goals for Liverpool in the Barclays Premier League is the second highest by a midfielder in the competition after Frank Lampard's 176. Coincidentally both were on the scoresheet in yesterday's New Year's Day fixtures.
The two penalties Gerrard converted against Leicester City on New Year's Day took his total from the spot to 31 in the BPL. Alan Shearer (56) and Lampard (43) are the only players with more.
His goals from outside the box are famous in all competitions, with his strikes against Olympiakos in a UEFA Champions League group-stage match and West Ham United in the FA Cup final the two standout ones. In total Gerrard has scored 36 goals from outside the penalty area in the league. Only three players, Lampard (44), Shearer (39) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (38) have scored more.
The Liverpool midfielder has not just starred through his goals, but also the number of chances he has created for team-mates. In total, Gerrard has made 92 assists in the Barclays Premier League. Only Ryan Giggs (162), Lampard (102) and Dennis Bergkamp (94) have made more and no Barclays Premier League player has created more chances than the 34-year-old's (835) since Opta started recording such data in 2003.
Manchester United and Everton fans might be particularly relieved to see Gerrard leave Liverpool because he has been a thorn in the two clubs' sides. Gerrard's five Barclays Premier League goals at Old Trafford is a feat that no away player has matches, while he is also the top scorer in BPL Merseyside derbies with nine goals.
Much has been made of the importance of Gerrard's goals in cup competition's and that remains true in the Barclays Premier League, too, with his goals. Of his 116 goals in the competition, almost a third (36) of Gerrard's strikes have won Liverpool the match, while a further 28 earned a point for the Reds. Almost half (53) gave Liverpool the lead while a further 16 drew Liverpool level with their opponents.
Gerrard also has won the most monthly awards in the history of the Barclays Premier League, with six awards (March 2001, March 2003, December 2004, April 2006, March 2009, March 2014). However, he could be caught by Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, who both have won five each.
BPL debut: v Blackburn Rovers, 29 November 1998.
Debut BPL goal: v Sheffield Wednesday, 5 December 1999
