Comments:

League position: 8th This was Leicester City's first defeat in their last seven home games in the Premier League (won two). The Foxes avoided drawing four consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2004. City now had six more points than at the same stage (played 32) of the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 10th Newcastle United had now taken 20 points from their last 12 games in the Premier League; only Tottenham Hotspur (30), Manchester United (28), Liverpool (26) and Manchester City (26) had taken more. Jonjo Shelvey scored his first goal in the Premier League since 21 November 2015 (for Swansea City against AFC Bournemouth). The Magpies' three previous away wins so far in this Premier League season had been against teams currently in the bottom half of the table (Swansea City, West Ham United and Stoke City).
