League position: 4th Leicester City had now lost four of their seven home games so far in this Premier League season; as many as in the entire 2019-20 season. Foxes failed to score for the second time in their last eight games in the Premier League. City had now taken 24 points from their 13 games so far in this Premier League season; five fewer points than at the same stage of the previous season. Leicester City were awarded a penalty after 83 minutes for a foul but the decision was reversed after a VAR review.
