Comments:

League position: 5th West Ham United had now lost five of their 17 games in the Premier League so far in 2021 (won ten). After scoring 11 goals in their preceding four games in the Premier League, the Hammers had now failed to score in two of their last 17 games in the division. They had now lost consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since their opening two games of the season. Fabián Balbuena was sent-off following a VAR review for serious foul play. However, the subsequent claim for wrongful dismissal was upheld and the red card withdrawn.

Comments:

League position: 4th Chelsea had now won eight of their last 13 games in the Premier League (lost one). The Blues had now kept a clean sheet in ten of their last 14 games in the Premier League. Thomas Tuchel became the second manager in the Premier League to remain unbeaten in his first ten away games at a club in all competitions (won eight) after Claudio Ranieri at Leicester City in 2015.
