Comments:

League position: 13th Crystal Palace had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games in the Premier League. Palace had now conceded more goals in the Premier League in 2020 than any other team (57). Wilfried Zaha had now scored eight goals in 14 games in this Premier League season, after four goals in 38 appearances in the division in 2019-20.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Leicester City failed in their attempt to win on three consecutive visits to London in the top division for the first time since April 1966. Kelechi Iheanacho's penalty after 19 minutes was saved. City had now been awarded ten penalties after 16 games of this Premier League season; the quickest that a team had now been awarded ten penalties in a season in the division (previously Blackburn Rovers after 25 games in 1994-95). Kasper Schmeichel made his 398th appearance for the Foxes to equal the record appearances by a Danish goalkeeper for an English club; also by his father Peter Schmeichel for Manchester United.
