Comments:

League position: 17th Aston Villa had now conceded 502 goals in their 470 home games in the Premier League (scored 615). Villa failed in their attempt to win consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since May 2015. In his 200th career appearance in all competitions, Jack Grealish scored his 26th goal. This game took place the day after the death of Villa's 1981 title-winning manager, Ron Saunders. He was also in charge when they won the League Cup in 1975 and 1977.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Leicester City had now won eight consecutive games in the top division for the first time in their history. Their previous club record of seven wins had stood since March 1963. Jamie Vardy had now scored 16 goals in 16 games so far in this Premier League season; one more goal than at the stage of the Foxes’ 2015-16 title winning season. City had now won 12 of their opening 16 games of a league season for the first time in their history.
