Comments:

League position: 1st This was Liverpool's biggest win since their 5-0 victory against Watford in the Premier League on 17 March 2018. Jürgen Klopp became the first Reds manager to win five games in the Premier League by a margin of five goals or more. Sadio Mané had now scored in five home league games in a row; the eighth time such a run had been achieved by a Liverpool player in the Premier League era. The Reds became the first team to remain unbeaten in their last 35 home games in the Premier League since Manchester City in December 2012 (37 games).

Comments:

League position: 8th Watford had now lost their last 12 away games in the Premier League against big six teams since winning at Arsenal on 31 January 2017. The Hornets had now lost 25 games in the Premier League by a margin of at least three goals and the 50th game in the Premier League when they had conceded at least three goals. They had now lost their last 11 games against the team starting the day at the top of the top division since 6 September 1986 (0-1 versus Wimbledon in League Division One with a goal from Glyn Hodges who later played for Watford).
