Comments:

League position: 16th West Ham United had now lost seven of their last nine games in the Premier League (won one). They had now lost their last three home games in the Premier League and conceded three goals in each game. With their next scheduled home game being postponed due to Liverpool’s involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup, this was the earliest date that the Hammers had played their last home game before Christmas since the 1966-67 season in League Division One when they faced West Bromwich Albion at Upton Park on 3 December 1966 (won 3-0). Including loan spells at Hull City and Ipswich Town, this was Mark Noble’s 500th appearance in his senior club career.

Comments:

League position: 9th With this victory, Arsenal avoided completing a run of ten games in all competitions without a win for the first time since March 1977. Prior to this game, all 19 of the other teams in the division had won a game in the Premier League since their last win in the competition on 6 October 2019. [c/o Matt Furniss] This was the first time that the Gunners had played a game in the Premier League when starting the day in the bottom half of the table at such an advanced stage of a season since April 1995. Héctor Bellerin was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Ainsley Maitland-Niles was promoted to the starting XI with Sead Kolašinac taking his place on the bench.
