Comments:

League position: 17th Burnley remained without a home win in the Premier League since the visit of Sheffield United on 29 December 2020; longer than any other team currently in the division. The Clarets remained without a win in ten consecutive home league games for the first time since September 1984 in League Division Three. They had now conceded 401 goals in their 265 games in the Premier League (scored 266).

Comments:

League position: 4th With one game left to play, Liverpool returned to the top four of the Premier League for the first time since 14 February 2021. The Reds had now won three away league games in the space of seven days for the first time in their history. The previous club record of eight days had stood since January 1899 in League Division One. [c/o Michael Reid] In his 42nd game, Nat Phillips scored the first goal of his senior club career.
