Comments:

League position: 9th Arsenal had taken 18 points from losing positions so far in this Premier League season; only Wolverhampton Wanderers had taken more (21). They had now failed to score in three of their last 70 home games in the Premier League since October 2016. Five English players had now scored in league games for the Gunners so far this season; the most since 1997-98 in League Division One (six). [c/o Tom Ede]

Comments:

League position: 1st With two games still to play and their third defeat of 2019-20, Liverpool could no longer equal Manchester City's competition record of 100 points in a Premier League season set in 2017-18. This was the first time they had trailed at half-time in a game in the Premier League after scoring the opening goal since a 2-2 draw with West Ham United at Anfield on 11 December 2016. In surpassing Ryan Babel’s total of 81 appearances, Divock Origi became the Reds’ most used substitute in all competitions in their history (82). [c/o Michael Reid]
