Comments:

League position: 11th Burnley had now taken 42 points from their 31 games so far in this Premier League season; 12 more points than at the same stage of the previous season. Only Crystal Palace (nine) had now scored fewer goals in the first-half of their games so far in this Premier League season than the Clarets (ten). This was their first win in a top division game played on a Thursday since Andy Lochhead scored four goals in a 6-1 victory against Manchester United at Turf Moor in League Division One on Boxing Day in 1963.

Comments:

League position: 16th Watford had now won one of their last ten games in all competitions. After 31 games of this Premier League season, only bottom-of-the-table Norwich City (five) had now won fewer games than the Hornets (six). They had now won one of their 21 away games in the Premier League played in midweek (lost 17).
