Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United became the first team since Newport County in 1970-71 in League Division Four to lose 21 or more of their first 26 games of a season in the top four divisions. The Blades had now conceded 250 goals in their 186 games in the Premier League (scored 182). They had now failed to score in 15 of their 26 games so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 6th Liverpool became the second team to score 7,000 goals in the top division after Everton (7,108). The Reds avoided losing five consecutive league games for the first time since September 1953. They kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last eight games in the Premier League.
