Comments:

League position: 5th Liverpool failed to scored for the third time so far in this Premier League season (played 17). The Reds had scored 63 goals in their previous 25 competitive games in this season; their highest total at this stage since 1986-87. They were now unbeaten in their last 15 games at Anfield in all competitions (won eight).

Comments:

League position: 17th West Bromwich Albion were now without a win in their last 16 games in all competitions (lost eight); the longest such run in their history. The Baggies had yet to score a goal in their three games under new manager Alan Pardew. Chris Brunt became the first player to make 250 appearances in the Premier League for Albion. Whilst an unused sub, Sam Field was shown a yellow card after 90 minutes for unsporting behaviour.
