Comments:

League position: 3rd Manchester City were now unbeaten in their last 34 home games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams since losing to Reading on 3 February 2007. The Citizens had now won all nine of their Premier League games played in September under Pep Guardiola; scored 31 goals and conceded three. David Silva made his 350th appearance for City in all competitions and he became the 100th player to score 50 goals in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 15th This was Fulham’s 250th away game in the Premier League (won 38, lost 131). The Cottagers had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 21 games in the Premier League; a club record in the top division. They had now conceded 12 goals so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team.
