Comments:

League position: 10th 100 goals had now been scored in Leeds United's 32 games so far in this Premier League season (for 50, against 50); more than any other team in the division. The Whites became the 17th team to play 500 games in the Premier League (won 203, lost 168). They failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games in the same season in the Premier League for the first time since April 2001.

Comments:

League position: 6th This game was played the day after Liverpool announced that they were one of six Premier League clubs that had agreed to form a new European Super League. The Reds had now dropped 13 points from winning positions so far in this Premier League season; two more than in the two previous seasons combined. They scored in the first 31 minutes of a game in the Premier League for the first time since the 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion on 27 December 2020.
