Comments:

League position: 5th West Ham United failed in their attempt to win seven consecutive games in all competitions for the third time in their history and the first time since February 2006. The Hammers had now conceded 601 goals in 471 home games in the Premier League (scored 681). Craig Dawson had now scored three goals in his last five games in all competitions for United.

Comments:

League position: 3rd All four of Liverpool's away wins so far in this Premier League season had now been in games played in London (also at Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur). Mohamed Salah became the first player to score 20 or more goals in all competitions in four consecutive seasons for the Reds since Ian Rush in 1986-87. In his 200th appearance in the Premier League, Georginio Wijnaldum scored his 27th goal in the division.
