Comments:

League position: 19th This was Watford's 300th game in the Premier League (won 73, lost 162). The Hornets became the first-ever team to lose 11 consecutive home games in the top division. They became the first team to fail to keep a clean sheet in 22 consecutive home games in the top division since Queens Park Rangers in League Division One in August 1973.

League position: 16th This was Burnley's 300th game in the Premier League (won 83, lost 142). This was the first time that they had won an away game in the Premier League after trailing at half time (played 66, lost 56). Jack Cork scored his first goal in his last 84 appearances in the Premier League since 5 December 2018 against Liverpool. Jay Rodriguez was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering a calf injury in the pre-match warm-up. Matěj Vydra was promoted to the starting XI with Will Norris taking his place on the bench. Burnley were awarded a penalty in the 27th minute for a foul but was reversed after a VAR review.
