League position: 3rd This was Leicester City's first win in their last five games in the Premier League (lost two) and had failed to score in the last three. In his 300th appearance for the club in all competitions (debut at Torquay United in the League Cup in August 2012), Jamie Vardy had now scored 126 goals for the Foxes. Kasper Schmeichel became the fourth Danish player to make 200 appearances in the Premier League; also Thomas Sorensen (364), Peter Schmeichel (310) and Christian Eriksen (226).

Comments:

League position: 19th Aston Villa had now lost five consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since February 2017. Villa had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 22 away games in the Premier League. They remained without a win in their last ten away games in the Premier League played on Monday since a 3-1 victory at Liverpool on 24 August 2009 (lost eight).
