Comments:

League position: 1st This was Liverpool’s first home game since being confirmed as Premier League champions for the first time. The last time they played a game at Anfield as the league champions was also Kenny Dalglish’s final playing appearance for the club (versus Derby County in League Division One on 1 May 1990). With his 20th goal of the season in all competitions, Sadio Mané scored his 50th goal for the Reds at Anfield. Liverpool were now unbeaten in their last 57 home games in the Premier League, and won the last 24.

Comments:

League position: 18th Aston Villa extended their club record to 24 consecutive away games in the Premier League without keeping a clean sheet. They remained as the only team without a clean sheet in an away game in the division in this season. Villa were now on the the longest current run without a win in the Premier League (drawn two, lost seven). They had now lost 14 and drawn two of their last 16 away games in the Premier League at the team starting the day at the top of the table since January 2000.
