Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool created a new club record of 64 consecutive home league games without defeat. The previous record had stood since January 1981. The Reds also created a new club record of scoring in 39 consecutive home games in the top division. The previous record was set from May 1967 to February 1969 in League Division One. Diogo Jota became the third player to score in each of his first four home league games for Liverpool after David Henderson in December 1893 and Fred Geary in November 1895 (both in League Division Two).

Comments:

League position: 4th Leicester City failed in their attempt to become the fifth team to win their opening five away games of a season in the Premier League after Newcastle United in 1994-95, Charlton Athletic in 2005-06, Chelsea 2008-09 and Manchester City 2017-18. The Foxes had now failed to score in each of their last five defeats in the Premier League. Jonny Evans had now conceded six own goals in the Premier League; only Richard Dunne (ten), Jamie Carragher (seven) and Martin Skrtel (seven) had conceded more in the division.
