Comments:

League position: 11th Following the sacking of Claude Puel, Brendan Rodgers was confirmed as Leicester City's new manager shortly before kick-off on this day. Mike Stowell took caretaker charge for this game only. This was the first time that the Foxes had led in a home game since the 2-1 win against Manchester City on Boxing Day 2018. City avoided losing five consecutive home games in the top division for the second time in their history (January to March 1959 in League Division One). They had now conceded 3,500 goals in the top division.

Comments:

League position: 16th Brighton and Hove Albion had now taken six points from their last 12 games in the Premier League (won one, lost eight). The Seagulls had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine away games in the Premier League (conceded 19 goals). They had now failed to win any of their first seven league games of a year for the first time since 1998 in League Division 3.
