Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United had now won all 14 games when they have taken the lead so far in this Premier League season. After a run of eight consecutive Premier League wins at Old Trafford, United had won two of their last five at home in the competition. The Red Devils had now have lost one of their 30 home games in the Premier League played on a Monday (won 22).

Comments:

League position: 18th Stoke City became the first team in Europe’s big five divisions to concede 50 league goals in this season. City had now failed to score in five of their last seven games in the Premier League. This was the first time that the Potters had lost an away game in the Premier League played on a Monday (played nine, won three). Following the sacking of manager Mark Hughes and prior to the appointment of Paul Lambert, coach Eddie Niedzwiecki was in caretaker charge for this game.
