Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had now lost 12 of their last 14 games against the team at the top of the Premier League table (won one). The Canaries remained as the only team that had yet to win a point from a losing position so far in this Premier League season. City had now scored six goals in the second-half of their home games so far in this Premier League season; a divisional low along with AFC Bournemouth.

Comments:

League position: 1st With 12 games still to play, only possible goal difference denied Liverpool from now being assured of qualification for the following season's UEFA Champions League. They now needed 15 more points to secure their first Premier League title. With 76 points, the Reds had now created a new all-time record for the most points after 26 games in Europe's top five leagues. They had now scored in 35 consecutive games in the Premier League; only Arsenal (55 games from May 2001 to November 2002) and Manchester United (36 games from December 2007 to November 2008) had achieved longer such runs in the division.
