Comments:

League position: 1st The last 11 teams to be top of the Premier League at the start of February had gone on to win the title that season. After 24 games, Leicester City became the first team to reach the 50 points mark in this Premier League this season. Their competition record for a completed season is 55 points in 1999-2000. Jamie Vardy's first goal was his 22nd in total in the Premier League but, memorably, his first from outside the penalty area. [Opta]

Comments:

League position: 8th Liverpool had now conceded 13 goals in their last six Premier League away games. They had failed to score in three of their last five Premier League games but scored eight goals in the other two.
