Comments:

League position: 7th Leicester City failed in their attempt to equal the club’s record of five consecutive wins in the Premier League that they most recently achieved between February and April in 2017. The Foxes had now lost eight home league games so far in this Premier League season; their most in the division since 2001-02 which was their last season at Filbert Street. They remained without a win in the seven games in the Premier League that they had played on a Friday (lost five); more than any other team without a win in games played on this day of the week.

Comments:

League position: 13th Newcastle United avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League without scoring for the first time since January 2016. This was their third away win in this Premier League season; only already relegated Huddersfield Town and Fulham had won fewer. The Magpies had now lost six games in the Premier League played on a Friday; more than any other team.
