Comments:

League position: 6th Manchester City failed in their attempt to create a new club record of keeping clean sheets in seven consecutive games in all competitions. They had now taken 20 points from their opening 12 games of this Premier League season; five points fewer than at the same stage of the previous season. İlkay Gündogan scored his first goal in the Premier League since City’s 3-1 win against Leicester City on 21 December 2019.

Comments:

League position: 19th Slaven Bilić was sacked the following day. This was his 100th game as a manager in the Premier League. West Bromwich Albion avoided equalling their club record for the fewest points after 13 games of a league season (six). Albion had now scored 200 goals in their 235 away games in the Premier League (conceded 388). The Baggies had now scored one goal in each of last four games in the Premier League.
