Sky Sports statistician Martin Tyler has provided us with some interesting information before tomorrows game.
When asked about the Bellamy scoring against old teams myth, he says:
"Craig Bellamy has played for seven different clubs in the Premier League, but his Premier League goalscoring record against his former teams has declined as time has gone on...
Norwich: Bellamy's first top-flight club was Norwich City. He has only played against them once in a league game (for Newcastle in 2004/05) and scored.
Strike rate: 1/1 (100%)
Newcastle: He has never played a Premier League game against Coventry City since leaving the Sky Blues, but boasts a good record against his next club Newcastle. He has played against the Magpies five times since he left St James' Park and has netted three times.
Strike rate: 3/5 (60%)
Blackburn: Since leaving Ewood Park, Bellamy has faced Blackburn in four league games, scoring on two occasions.
Strike rate: 2/4 (50%)
Liverpool: He has faced the Reds twice in the league - for Man City and West Ham - since leaving Anfield. However, he is yet to score. He thought he had opened the scoring for Man City last season, but it was credited as a Alvaro Arbeloa own goal.Strike rate: 0/2 (0%)
West Ham: He has faced the Hammers twice for Man City since leaving Upton Park and is yet to open his account.
Strike rate: 0/2 (0%)
Cheers Martin keep em coming. Lets hope he gets on the score sheet first tomorrow and puts pressure on the Reds from the start.
