Kick-off: 6.00pm This was the first-ever game in the Premier League to kick-off at 6.00pm on a Sunday. It was entirely due to Manchester City requesting a later start time as they had played on the preceding Friday evening. The alteration was not a consequence of domestic or international TV rights.

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was the final game of the decade in the Premier League. Manchester City had now accrued 818 points since 1 January 2010; more than any other team. Manchester United were second on the list with 747 points. In his 134th game in charge, this was City's 100th win in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola; the fewest games that a manager had taken to reach the landmark in the competition's history. The previous record was held by José Mourinho (142 games). Sergio Agüero had now scored against 32 of the 33 opposition teams he had faced in the Premier League. He had only failed to score against Bolton Wanderers.

League position: 8th This was Sheffield United's first defeat in their last 19 away games in all competitions since a 1-0 loss at Swansea City in the League Championship on 19 January 2019. The Blades failed in their attempt to equal the top division record for the longest unbeaten run of away games (ten) from the start of a season for a newly-promoted team, set by Burnley in League Division One in 1947-48. Since 1982, United had now lost their last 11 final league games of a year when they were played away from home. Lys Mousset scored after 29 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
