Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers equalled their biggest-ever win in the Premier League; also versus Blackpool in February 2011. Wolves avoided losing four consecutive league games within the same season for the first time since March 2017 in the League Championship. 103 goals had now been scored in their 50 games in the Premier League since 1 January 2021 (for 49, against 54).

Comments:

League position: 19th Watford had now lost 13 of their last 17 games in all competitions (won one). The Hornets failed in their attempt to equal their club record of keeping clean sheets in three consecutive away games in the top division, set in March 1986 in League Division One. They had now failed to score in 11 of their last 22 games in the Premier League.
