Comments:

League position: 14th Crystal Palace had now lost six of their 11 home games so far in this Premier League season (won two); one fewer than they lost during the entire previous season. Palace avoided becoming only the third team to score fewer than six goals after 11 home games of a Premier League season (Everton scored three goals in 1998-99 and Huddersfield Town had scored five in this season). The Eagles had now scored in four of their 11 home games so far in this Premier League season; failing to score in seven games was the most in the division.

Comments:

League position: 7th Watford were now unbeaten in their last four away games in the Premier League (won two); their best such run since September 2017 (also four) and equalling their club record in the top division. The Hornets had now taken 16 points from their away games so far in this Premier League season; two more points than in the entire previous season. Craig Cathcart became the first player to score a goal and an own goal in the same game in the Premier League since Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross against Tottenham Hotspur on 9 December 2017.
