Comments:

League position: 3rd Liverpool failed to score at Anfield in the Premier League for the first time in nine games (0-0 versus West Bromwich Albion on 13 December 2017) having scored 27 goals the preceding eight games. The Reds had now won three of their last 11 games in the Premier League after playing in a UEFA Champions League game (lost two). Mohamed Salah failed in his attempt to become the first player to score in eight consecutive games at Anfield in the Premier League since Luis Suárez in January 2014.

Comments:

League position: 19th Stoke City were now without a win in their last 12 league games; their longest such run in the top division since December 1984 (17 games). The Potters were now without a win in their last 13 away games in the Premier League since a 1-0 win at Watford on 28 October 2017. City boss Paul Lambert had now taken charge of more Premier League games at Anfield without losing than any other manager (played five, won two).
