Comments:

League position: 9th Two days after a 6-3 defeat at Manchester City, Leicester City had now won three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2019. The Foxes had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 20 games in all competitions. City had now won their final league game of the year for the sixth time in the last 11 seasons (lost two).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool had now ended a club record of scoring in 34 consecutive games in all competitions; previously 31 games from April 1957 to January 1958. The Reds had now lost two of their last 17 away games in the Premier League (won 12) and two of their last 36 games in all competitions (won 26). Mohamed Salah's penalty after 15 minutes was saved. It was the first spot-kick he had failed to convert in the Premier League in 16 attempts since 28 October 2017 against Huddersfield Town.
