Comments:

League position: 1st Only Arsenal (49 games) and Chelsea (40 games) had now recorded a longer undefeated run in the Premier League than Liverpool (39 games). The Reds had now scored in all of their opening 22 games of a league season for the first time since 1957-58 in League Division Two (27 games). They became the first team to do so in the Premier League since Arsenal in 2001-02. They had now kept a clean sheet in each of their last seven games in all competitions. Liverpool had now won 19 consecutive home games in the Premier League. They hold the record for the most home wins in a row in the top division (21 games in League Division One from January to December in 1972). Roberto Firmino scored after 25 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul on the goalkeeper.

Comments:

League position: 5th Manchester United had now lost three consecutive league games on Merseyside (Liverpool and Everton) for the first time since 1979 in League Division One. United had now failed to score in three of their last six games in all competitions. The Red Devils had now taken 34 points from their 23 games so far in this Premier League season; ten points fewer than at the same stage of the previous season. United had now lost nine of their last 16 away games in the Premier League (won three).
