Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now equalled a club record of conceding only one goal in their opening five games of a league season; also 1977-78 in League Division One. [c/o Michael Reid] In his 224th appearance, Sadio Mané became the 18th player to score 100 goals for the Reds in all competitions. This was their first game in the Premier League with neither Andy Robertson nor Trent Alexander-Arnold in the starting line-up since 5 December 2018 at Burnley. [c/o Michael Reid]

Comments:

League position: 14th Crystal Palace had now equalled their club record of nine consecutive defeats against the same opponent in the top division; also versus Tottenham Hotspur from 2015 to 2019 in the Premier League. All four of Palace's previous games in this Premier League season had been against London opposition. The Eagles had now failed to score in five of their last seven games in all competitions.
