Comments:

League position: 3rd Manchester City had now lost as many Premier League home games this season (three) as they had in seasons 2014-15 and 2013-14 combined under Manuel Pellegrini. They had now not beaten any side currently in the top six of Premier League in this season (played seven, lost four). Sergio Aguero had now scored 37 goals in his last 33 Premier League appearances at the Etihad Stadium.

Comments:

League position: 1st After this round of matches, Leicester City were now five points clear at the top of the Premier League with 13 games to play. The Foxes had now lost only one of their last 16 Premier league away games (won ten). Riyad Mahrez ended a personal Premier League goal drought of 11 hours and two minutes with his strike in this match. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Leicester City’s first goal against Manchester City on Saturday 6th February 2016 has been confirmed as a Robert Huth goal. (Circular 17 – 11th February 2016)
