Comments:

League position: 3rd Manchester City had now taken 900 points from their 466 home games in the Premier League (won 268, lost 102). 101 goals had now been scored in City's 32 games in the Premier League in 2021 (78 for, 23 against). They had now kept a clean sheet in six of their eight games so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 19th Burnley had now scored one or no goals in ten of their last 11 games in the Premier League. The Clarets remained without a win in their last 11 league games (lost eight); the longest current such run in the top four divisions. They failed in their attempt to keep a clean sheet in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2020.
