Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool remained unbeaten in their last 17 games in the Premier League; the longest current unbeaten run of league games in the top four divisions. They remained as the only unbeaten team in ths Premier League season (played seven, won four) and also scored more goals than any other team in the division (17). Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané had now both scored in the same game for the Reds for the 39th time in all competitions; Ian St John and Roger Hunt were now their only pairing to both score in more games (48).

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was Manchester City's first score draw in the Premier League since the vist of West Bromwich Albion to the Etihad Stadium on 15 December 2020; longer than any other team currently in the division. This was City's first score draw in an away game in the Premier League since 24 October 2020 at West Ham United; longer than any other team currently in the division. They failed in their attempt to equal a club record of keeping a clean sheet in six consecutive league games.
