Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool would now be at the top of the Premier League at Christmas for the fourth time. In 2008-09, 2013-14 and 2018-19 they failed to go on and clinch the title. The Reds extended their club record to 34 consecutive games in the top division without defeat (won 29). They had now won 25 and drawn one of their last 26 games in the Premier League; the first-ever time that such a run had been achieved in the top division. Since the Premier League began in 1992, 269 teams had completed a season in the division with fewer points than Liverpool had after 17 games of this season (49). [c/o Duncan Alexander] This game took place the day after manager Jürgen Klopp signed a new contract that would run to June 2024. Sadio Mané scored after 50 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

League position: 20th This was new manager Nigel Pearson's first game in charge. Watford had now won one of their last 21 games in the Premier League (lost 13). The Hornets had now taken nine points from their 17 games so far in this Premier League season. The nine previous teams to have taken nine points or fewer after 17 games in the division went on to be relegated. They had now lost their last 13 games against the team that started the day at the top of the top division.
