24 - Sheffield United suffered their 24th league defeat of the season in just 30 games – in their league history they’ve only ever lost more in 1975-76 (26/42) and 2010-11 (26/46). Nightmare.
300 – Jamie Vardy is set to make his 300th league appearance for Leicester City, with the striker scoring 135 goals for the Foxes in league competition. Icon.
Agree, you cannot expect a team to ace all the time. There will be good days and bad days, as long as bad days are rare, one should take this loss in a stride.
I think Tuchel has done an outstanding job so far and this game can be discounted as a one-off.
The visitors have come closer to making a breakthrough, but it’s all square after 45 minutes
Leicester did not attempt a single shot in the first half vs. Man City.
Benjamin Mendy has now scored two goals this season in the Premier League for Man City, his best goalscoring record in his league career.
An unlikely goalscorer giving City the lead.
Arsenal XI: Leno, Chambers, Holding, Gabriel Magalhães, Tierney, Partey, Ceballos, Pépé, Ødegaard, Aubameyang(c), Lacazette
Subs: Alves Soares, Willian, Ryan, Martinelli Silva, Nelson, Bellerín, Mohamed Elneny, Nketiah, Marí
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson, Thiago, Fabinho, Milner(c), Salah, Roberto Firmino, Mané
Subs: Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Diogo Jota, Wijnaldum, Keita, Williams, Jones, Adrián, Tsimikas
Gabriel Jesus doubles Manchester City’s lead against Leicester.
Raheem Sterling has now provided 50 assists in the Premier League since making his debut.
And he’s got 95 goals to go with them.
5 - Gabriel Jesus has scored in five of his six Premier League appearances against Leicester (5 goals) – only versus Everton (7) has the Brazilian netted more Premier League goals than vs the Foxes (5). Familiarity.
Mendy
Jesus
Man City extend their lead at the top of the table to 17 points.
28 – Man City have kept more clean sheets (28) and conceded fewer goals (26) in all competitions this season than any other side in Europe’s top five leagues. Foundation.
Man City’s last nine Premier League away games:
WWWWWWWWW
They last dropped points on the road in the PL before Christmas.
Kevin De Bruyne made 14 ball recoveries vs Leicester, no Man City player has made more in a single Premier League game this season.
He made 10 (!) more than Wilfred Ndidi.
Manchester City’s win today means Liverpool can mathematically no longer defend their Premier League title
1 - Arsenal attempted just one shot in the first half of a Premier League home game for the first time since November 2015 vs Spurs. Pinned.
