Comments:

League position: 8th Everton had now equalled their club record for the most home defeats in a season in the Premier League; also eight in 1996-97 and 2015-16. The Toffees had now failed to win in five consecutive home games in all competitions for the first time since February 2015. Dominic Calvert-Lewin had now scored 20 goals in a season in all competitions for the first time in his career. James Rodríguez was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Alex Iwobi was promoted to the starting XI with João Virgínia taking his place on the bench.

Comments:

League position: 9th Aston Villa had now won eight away games so far in this Premier League season; as many as in their three previous seasons in the division combined. Villa had now opened the scoring in each of their last four games in the Premier League but failed to win the previous three (lost two). 37 goals had now been scored in their 17 away games so far in this Premier League season (22 for, 15 against); the fewest by any team in the division along with Brighton and Hove Albion, Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
