Man dubbed unluckiest fan after Liverpool fail to win when he's watching

Xbox and data analysts at Opta identified Liverpool fan Tommy McAllister, 30, as the UK's unluckiest supporter using their new 'xJ' metric, which analyzed matchday viewing data from nearly 10,000 fans.
McAllister is considered 'cursed' because Liverpool failed to win any Premier League game he watched this year, prompting friends to ban him from viewing after the team won only the four games he missed since Christmas.
Beyond football, the fan's bad luck includes favourite Liverpool restaurants closing and missing a Walking Dead meet-and-greet by 10 people, while friends message 'Tommy must be watching' whenever Liverpool concede.
Xbox senior global product manager Mohan Gehlot awarded McAllister an Xbox console and EA FC 26, stating, 'We're just glad we can improve Tommy's new matchday experience by rewarding him.'
To support his team, McAllister will now sacrifice his matchday viewing to play on his console instead, hoping this change will break the jinx and help Liverpool secure better results.
