Comments:

League position: 15th Brighton and Hove Albion had now lost consecutive home games in the Premier League for the second time; also April 2019. The Seagulls had now lost all five of their games in the Premier League against a team starting the day at the top of the table. Leandro Trossard had now scored in consecutive league games for the first time since April 2019 for KRC Genk in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League. Albion had now lost 50 of their 110 games in the Premier League (won 26).

Comments:

League position: 1st With four games still to play, Liverpool had now equalled their club record of 30 wins in a league season; also in 1978-79 in League Division One (played 42) and 2018-19 in the Premier League (played 38). This also broke the all-time record for the fewest games to reach 30 wins in a season in the top division (played 34). The Reds avoided completing a run of six consecutive away games in all competitions without scoring for the first time since April 1992. Only Gareth Barry (653), Ryan Giggs (632), Frank Lampard (609) and David James (572) had now made more appearances in the Premier League than James Milner (536).
