Comments:

League position: 4th Liverpool were now without a win in four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2017. The Reds had now failed to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2005. They had now conceded one goal in each of nine of their last 13 games in the Premier League and kept clean sheets in the other four.

Comments:

League position: 1st This was Manchester United's first goalless draw in an away game in the Premier League since their visit to West Ham United on 10 May 2018; longer than any other team currently in the division. The Red Devils remained without a win and scored one goal in the five games against their fellow Big Six opponents so far in this Premier League season (lost two). This was the first time they had been top of the table going into a meeting with Liverpool in the Premier League since January 2013.
