League position: 14th This was Leicester City's first home defeat in the Premier League since 26 September 2015 versus Arsenal, so had gone unbeaten in 20 games (won 13). The Foxes had now lost five of their 11 Premier League games so far in this season. They lost only three games in the whole of their 2015-16 title-winning campaign. They had now won 11 of their 12 Premier League points at home so far in this season.

League position: 11th This was West Bromwich Albion's second win in their last 12 away games in the Premier League (drawn six). The Baggies scored more than one goal for only the second time in their last 21 Premier League games since a 2-2 draw at Leicester City on 1 March 2016. Albion had now kept a clean sheet in only two of their last 18 Premier League games.
