Comments:

League position: 15th Brighton and Hove Albion now remained unbeaten in six consecutive games in the top division for the first time since November 1981 in League Division One. Albion failed in their attempt to win consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2019. Six goals had now been scored in the Seagulls' last seven games in the Premier League (for four, against two).

Comments:

League position: 8th This was Aston Villa's first goalless draw in an away league game since their visit to Reading in the League Championship on 2 February 2019; longer than any other current Premier League team. Villa had now scored three goals in their last four games in the Premier League. They had now kept a clean sheet in seven of their 12 away games so far in this Premier League season.
