Comments:

League position: 9th This was Watford's first defeat in their last 15 games in the Premier League against the non-big six teams (won eight). The Hornets had now conceded in ten consecutive games in the Premier League; the longest current run without a clean sheet in the division. They had now lost two of their last 12 home games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams, and won the preceding three. This was Javi Gracia's 50th game as Watford's manager in the Premier League (won 18, lost 21).

Comments:

League position: 7th This was Wolverhampton Wanderers' first win in their last six away games in the Premier League (lost three). They had now not kept a clean sheet in their last 14 away games in the Premier League; the longest current run in the division. With his 13th goal, Raúl Jiménez had now scored more goals for Wolves in a Premier League season than any other player; previously 12 by Steven Fletcher in 2011-12.
