Comments:

League position: 20th Stoke City were now the only team in England's top four divisions that had yet to be in a winning position during a league game so far in this season. The Potters had now conceded four goals in six of their last 11 Premier League games since 10 April 2016. City had now conceded 14 goals in their opening five Premier League games of this season. They conceded the 14th goal of the 2015-16 season in their 14th game (versus Sunderland on 28 November).
