Comments:

League position: 17th This was manager Francesco Guidolin's last game in charge as he was sacked two days later. Swansea City were now without a win in their last six Premier League games (lost five). The Swans had now lost consecutive home Premier League games for the first time since October 2015. They had now conceded two or more goals in four consecutive Premier League home games for only the second time (also four games in September 2013).

Comments:

League position: 2nd With 16 points, this was Liverpool's third-best seven-game start to a Premier League season. They earned 17 points in 1996-97 and 2008-09. The Reds had now gone ten away games without a clean sheet in the Premier League; their longest such sequence since a 12-game run in 1998. They had now now scored more away goals in 2016 than any other Premier League team (28).
