Comments:

League position: 2nd Leicester City had now equalled their club record of seven consecutive wins in the top division set in March 1963. The Foxes had now won 11 of their opening 15 games of a league season for the first time. They had now taken 35 points from their 15 games so far in this Premier League season; three more points than at the same stage of the 2015-16 season when they won the title. Jamie Vardy had now scored 50 goals in 96 home games for City in the Premier League (44 in away games).

Comments:

League position: 20th Following the sacking of manager Quique Sánchez Flores, this was Hayden Mullins' first game in caretaker charge. Watford had now conceded 61 goals in the Premier League in 2019; more than any other team who had been in the division throughout the year. After 15 games, the Hornets had now scored nine goals so far in this Premier League season; four fewer than any other team.
