Comments:

League position: 14th Southampton had now equalled their club record of ten home defeats in a season in the Premier League (also in 1993-94). The Saints had still yet to draw a game in the Premier League in 2020 (won five and lost six). Ryan Bertrand made his 200th appearance for Southampton in all competitions (eight goals).

Comments:

League position: 9th Arsenal avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2019. Two or more English players scored for the Gunners in a game in the Premier League for the first time since 14 August 2016 in a 4-3 defeat by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium (Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers). Aged 31 years and seven days, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made his 100th appearance for Arsenal in all competitions to become the oldest outfield player to reach this milestone for them since current manager Mikel Arteta on Boxing Day in 2013 (31 years and 275 days).
