Comments:

League position: 5th Chelsea had now won four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2017. This was the first time that Olivier Giroud had scored in a Premier League game that he had started since 13 May 2017 (for Arsenal against Stoke City). N’Golo Kante made his 100th start in Premier League games (won 66).

Comments:

League position: 3rd Liverpool failed to score in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since August 2015, so the first time under manager Jürgen Klopp. Following Tottenham Hotspur a day earlier, Liverpool became the second club to play 500 away games in the Premier League (won 196, lost 176). The Reds had now won only three of their last 12 games in the Premier League directly following a UEFA Champions League tie (lost three).
