Comments:

League position: 3rd This result equalled Leicester City's biggest-ever home win in the Premier League; also versus Newcastle United on 29 September 2019. With his first hat-trick in the Premier League, Kelechi Iheanacho scored the Foxes' eighth hat-trick in the competition. City had now won seven home games so far in this Premier League season (lost six), compared to ten wins in away games (lost one).

Comments:

League position: 20th This was Sheffield United's biggest league defeat since a 5-0 loss at Blackburn Rovers in League Division 1 on 1 April 2000. The Blades had conceded a total of five goals in their four preceding games in the Premier League. They had now conceded the first goal in 22 of their 29 games so far in this Premier League season. This was interim manager Paul Heckingbottom's first game in charge following the departure of Chris Wilder on the previous day.
