Comments:

League position: 12th Leicester City were now unbeaten in their last 20 home games in the Premier League (won 13); the longest such unbeaten run since Chelsea’s 21-game sequence up to August 2015. In avoiding defeat, the Foxes avoided the worst nine-game start by a defending English league champions since Leeds United in 1974. Christian Fuchs scored his first goal for City in his 47th appearance.

Comments:

League position: 11th Crystal Palace had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 away games in the Premier League; their longest such run in the competition. The Eagles became only the fifth team to score against Leicester City in their last 16 Premier League games at the King Power Stadium. Palace had now gone 14 consecutive Premier League games without keeping a clean sheet.
