League position: 3rd Liverpool were now unbeaten in 18 games in all competitions. The Reds remained unbeaten in their opening 12 home games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2011-12. Liverpool had now scored 85 goals in all competitions so far in this season; seven fewer than they scored in the whole of previous season. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had now scored three goals in a league season for the first time since playing for Southampton in League One in 2010-11.

Comments:

League position: 1st This ended Manchester City's run of 30 games without defeat in the Premier League. There had only been five longer unbeaten runs in the history of the top division (Arsenal 49 games in 2003-2004, Nottingham Forest 42 in 1977-1978, Chelsea 40 in 2004-2005, Leeds United 34 in 1968-1969 and Liverpool 31 in 1987-1988). City's run of 22 games unbeaten from the start of this Premier League season had only been exceeded by two teams in the competition's history (Arsenal's 38 games in 2003-04 and 24 games by Manchester United in 2010-11). They conceded four goals in a Premier League game for the first time since their visit to Everton on 15 January 2017 (4-0).
