Comments:

League position: 3rd This was David Luiz's debut in his second spell as a Chelsea player. His first debut was in a home defeat to Liverpool on 6 February 2011. This was Antonio Conte's first home defeat in 31 league game as a club manager since 6 January 2013 when in charge of Juventus against Sampdoria. This was first time that Diego Costa had scored in a home league defeat since playing for Valladolid against Osasuna on 23 September 2009. [c/o Mister Chip]

Comments:

League position: 4th Liverpool have now scored in 18 of their last 19 Premier League games. The Reds had now won four of the last five Premier League games they had played on a Friday. Jurgen Klopp became the first manager since Arsene Wenger in 1997 to win both of his first two visits to Stamford Bridge as a manager in the Premier League.
