Comments:

League position: 7th Burnley failed in their attempt to win six consecutive games in the top division for the first time since November 1968. The Clarets failed in their attempt to complete a league double against the reigning top division champions for the first time since 1953-54 (versus Arsenal). Their only previous Premier League game played on a Thursday was on New Year’s Day in 2015 when they drew 3-3 at Newcastle United.

Comments:

League position: 5th This was manager Antonio Conte's 100th game in charge of Chelsea in all competitions (won 65, lost 19). The Blues had now won eight of their 22 games in all competitions in 2018 (lost seven). They had now won four of their seven games in the Premier League that had been played on a Thursday (lost one).
