Comments:

League position: 17th Swansea City had now failed to score in 16 of their 35 games so far in this Premier League season to equal their most such games in a completed season in the competition (also 16 in 2012-13). The Swans were now without a win in their last six games in the Premier League (lost three). They had now lost consecutive Premier League games for the first time under manager Carlos Carvalhal and since Paul Clement's final two games in charge in December 2017.

Comments:

League position: 5th Chelsea had now won three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2017. Antonio Conte had now won 50 of his 73 games as a manager in the Premier League; only José Mourinho (63) and Pep Guardiola (69) reached 50 wins in the competition in fewer games. Cesc Fabregas became the third Spanish player to score 50 goals in the Premier League after Fernando Torres (85) and Diego Costa (52).
