Comments:

League position: 4th Liverpool had now lost three consecutive home league games for the first time since September 1963. The Reds avoided failing to score in four consecutive home league games for the first time in their history. This was the first time that they had conceded four goals in one half of a league game at Anfield since the visit of Arsenal in League Division One on 15 November 1952 (lost 5-1, 1-1 at half time).

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City had now won their last 14 games in all competitions to equal the previous record for a top division team for the second time (also by Preston North End in January 1892 and Arsenal in November 1987). City set the current record of 20 wins in a row in league and cup by a top flight team during the 2017-18 season. City failed in their attempt to create a new club record of keeping clean sheets in seven consecutive games in the Premier League. İlkay Gündogan missed a penalty after 37 minutes. City had now failed to convert three of their last four penalties in games against Liverpool in the Premier League.
