Jurgen Klopp is rewriting the record books with the goal rush he's masterminding at Liverpool.

The Reds took their tally for the season to 103 in 40 matches following an emphatic 4-1 win over West Ham at Anfield.

Stats provided by Gudmundur Magnusson and his lfchistory.net website show that on a goals per game basis this is the second highest scoring campaign in Liverpool's history and the best since 1895/96.

Klopp's men are netting at a rate of 2.58 per game which is now better than Brendan Rodgers' title challengers in 2013-14 (2.56 per game).

Fourth in the club's all-time list is 1961-62 when Bill Shankly's side scored 105 goals in 47 games (2.23 per game) en route to winning the Second Division title.

Assessing the reign of every Reds boss since Shankly, Klopp is the only one who averages more than two goals per game.

Since the German took over in October 2015, Liverpool have netted 282 in 139 matches (2.03 per match).

That puts him ahead of Kenny Dalglish (1.92), Bob Paisley (1.79), Brendan Rodgers (1.77), Joe Fagan (1.72), Gerard Houllier (1.68), Rafa Benitez (1.67), Shankly (1.67), Roy Evans (1.66) and Graeme Souness (1.58).

Liverpool have 10 Premier League matches left this term and at least three more in the Champions League after their 5-0 first-leg thrashing of FC Porto.

If they maintain their current scoring rate over those 13 matches they will finish with 136 goals. That would represent the club's second highest scoring season ever.

If they reach the Champions League final they will have another 16 games to play and that would make beating the record tally of 138 from 1985-86 a realistic proposition.

Liverpool have had 180 shots on target in 28 Premier League matches this season (6.4 per game). That increases to 8.4 shots on target per match in the Champions League.

Only once in the past decade have the Reds tested Premier League keepers to a greater extent – 2013-14 when they had 258 shots on target at a rate of 6.8 per game.

No wonder Sky Sports and BT Sport have snapped up all of Liverpool's Premier League matches for coverage in April.

Klopp's great entertainers are box office.
