Comments:

League position: 16th Burnley had now won consecutive home games for the first time since October 2019. Ben Mee scored his first goal at Turf Moor in the Premier League in 76 appearances since scoring against Crystal Palace on 17 January 2015. The Clarets had now lost one of their last eight last league games of a year (won four).

Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now equaled the competition record for the most games without a win from the start of a season in the Premier League (16), set by Queens Park Rangers in 2012-13. The Blades had now equaled their club record of 19 league games without a win, set from September 1975 to February 1976 in League Division One. Oliver Burke had now set a new competition record of a player failing to play in a winning team in his first 25 appearances in the Premier League (previously 24 by Gareth Bale). Sheffield United named only seven of a possible nine substitutes.
