Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now completed a year without losing a game in the Premier League. Their last league defeat was at Manchester City on 3 January 2019. The second-longest current unbeaten run in the division was 20 days by both Southampton and Watford. They had now kept clean sheets in five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2007. Nathaniel Phillips (squad number 47) became the 47th player to be selected in the Reds’ matchday squads so far in this season, to increase the club record for the most players selected in a season in all competitions. The previous record was 42 in 2010-11 and 2015-16. [c/o LFC Match by Match] Sadio Mané had now become the 14th player to score on all seven days of the week for Liverpool. [c/o Ged Rea] Naby Keïta was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. James Milner was promoted to the starting XI with Neco Williams taking his place on the bench.

League position: 8th Sheffield United had now lost two consecutive league games for the first time since their opening two games of the previous season in the League Championship in August 2018. They conceded more than one goal in consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since November 2018 (two goals in both games in the League Championship). The Blades failed in their attempt to become only the fourth newly-promoted team to win an away game in the Premier League against a team starting the day at the top of the table.
