Comments:

League position: 19th Newcastle United had now dropped 21 points from winning positions so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. The Toon had now scored the first goal in ten of their games so far in this Premier League season but had won only one of them (lost three). The Magpies had now scored one goal in each of 12 of their last 17 games in the Premier League (none in three of the other five).

Comments:

League position: 17th Watford avoided completing a run of seven consecutive league defeats for the first time since February 1973 in League Division Three. The Hornets had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 29 games in the Premier League; the longest such run in the division since Burnley from November 2009 to August 2014 (also 29 games). They had now scored one goal in each of five of their last six games in the Premier League (none in the other one).
