Comments:

League position: 6th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now drawn 12 games in the Premier League in 2019; more than any other team. Wolves had now completed a run of nine games without defeat in the top division for the first time since April 1973. Matt Doherty had now scored in consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since December 2016. The attendance of 31,642 was the highest at Molineux since 34,693 saw the visit of Aston Villa in League Division One on 28 February 1981. Wolves had now conceded one goal in each of their last six games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 7th Sheffield United have taken 50 points from their 68 away games in the Premier League (won 10, lost 38). The Blades became the second newly promoted team to remain unbeaten in their first seven away games in the Premier League after Blackburn Rovers in 1992-93. It's the first time that United had done so in the top division since 1899-00 in League Division One. Lys Mousset scored the Blades' second quickest goal in a game in the Premier League after Dane Whitehouse at Everton on 21 August 1993 in the first minute.
