Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool now had a lead of 22 points at the top of the Premier League table; the biggest lead any team had ever had in the top division. The previous record was Manchester City's 20 point lead over Manchester United in the Premier League in May 2018. The Reds had now won their last 20 home games in the Premier League to equal the competition record set by Manchester City in March 2012. Liverpool hold the record for the most consectutive home wins in the top division (21 from January to December in 1972 in League Division One). They had now matched Nottingham Forest's run of 42 unbeaten games in League Division One from 1977 to 1978. Only Arsenal had now acheived a longer such run in the top division (49 games in the Premier League from 2003 to 2004). Liverpool had now scored in their last 28 home league games for the first time since February 1969 (38 games).

Comments:

League position: 11th This was Southampton's heaviest defeat in an away game in the Premier League since 4 November 2018 (6-1 at Manchester City). The Saints failed in their attempt to win five consecutive away league games in the same season for the first time. They had won five of their preceding seven games in the Premier League (lost one).
