Comments:

League position: 12th Sheffield United had now failed to score in consecutive home league games for the first time since December 2018. The Blades had now lost three consecutive home league games for the first time since February 2013 in League One. United failed in their attempt to win consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2006.

Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now won their opening seven games of a league season for the second time in their history (also first eight in 1990-91 in League Division One) and the second team to complete the feat in the Premier League after Chelsea in 2005-06 (nine games). This was the first time in their last ten games in the Premier League that the Reds had not led at half-time since their visit to Cardiff City on 21 April 2019. They had now taken 99 points from their last 38 games in the Premier League.
