Comments:

League position: 10th Brighton and Hove Albion were now unbeaten in their last six home games in the Premier League. The Seagulls equalled their club record of four consecutive home draws in the top division (also February to March in 1980 and October to November in 1981). Albion had now failed to score in the first-half in five of their seven home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 20th Crystal Palace had now failed to score an away goal in the Premier League since 23 April 2017 in their 2-1 win at Liverpool. They had now now failed to score in each of their opening seven away games of this Premier League season; only Derby County (eight games in 2007-08) had taken longer to score their first away goal in a Premier League season. After 14 games, this was the first time that Palace had kept a clean sheet in this Premier League season.
