So far in this Premier League season, the Hornets had now taken 15 points against teams in the top half of the table, while taking 13 points against teams in the bottom-half. Craig Dawson scored his first goal in the Premier League since 24 February 2018 for West Bromwich Albion against Huddersfield Town.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Leicester City had now won four of their last 14 games in the Premier League (lost six). Ben Chilwell had now scored two goals in his last five games in the Premier League; as many as in his previous 91 appearances in the division. This was Brendan Rodgers' 200th games as a manager in the Premier League to become the second Northern Irishman to reach the landmark after former Foxes boss Martin O'Neill (359).
