Comments:

League position: 19th Norwich City had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 home games in the Premier League; their longest such run in the division. The Canaries had now won one of their last 13 games in the Premier League (lost nine). City had now lost five of their last six home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 6th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now scored 50 goals in their 36 games in the Premier League in 2019 (conceded 45). Raul Jiménez became the second player to score 20 goals in the Premier League for Wolves after Steven Fletcher (22). They now remained unbeaten in their last seven away games in the Premier League (won three); their longest such run in the top division since 1959 in League Division One.
