Comments:

League position: 19th Burnley were now without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League (lost six) and conceded 21 goals. They had now won two of their last 20 games in the Premier League (lost 13). This was Sean Dyche's 300th league game as a manager (won 113, lost 96).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool had now made their best-ever start after 15 games of a top division season (won 12 and drawn three). Their previous best was 12 wins and two draws in 1978-79 and 1990-91 in League Division One. The Reds had now conceded only six goals in 15 games in the Premier League so far this season. No team had ever conceded fewer than six goals after 15 games of a top division season. This was the 50th game in the Premier League that James Milner had scored and he had been on the losing team in none of them (won 39).
