League position: 3rd Leicester City avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2019.

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2012. The Baggies had now failed to win in the six games they had played in the Premier League on a Thursday (lost four); more games without a win on this day in the competition than any other team. With six games left to play, Albion were now nine points behind Burnley (and safety) in 17th position.
