Comments:

League position: 4th This was the tenth time that Liverpool had now scored five or more goals in 128 games in all competitions under manager Jürgen Klopp. This result equalled the biggest winning margin in the history of the Premier League of games played on Boxing Day. In his 200th appearance for the Reds, Philippe Coutinho scored his 54th goal.

Comments:

League position: 20th Only Manchester City in 1995-96 and Derby County in 2007-08 had now scored fewer goals in their first 20 games of a Premier League season (ten each) than Swansea City in this season (11). The Swans had now lost nine of their last 12 games in the Premier League (won one). This was their joint-heaviest defeat in the Premier League (also 0-5 at home to Chelsea on 17 January 2015, at Liverpool on 17 February 2013 and at Tottenham Hotspur on 3 December 2016).
