Comments:

League position: 18th Newcastle United had now lost their opening four home league games of a season for the first time in their history and made their worst seven-game start to a season since 1999-2000. The Magpies had taken only five points from their last 12 games in the Premier League (lost eight). They had now failed to score in only two of their last 12 games at St James' Park in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 7th Leicester City had lost five of their preceding six away games in the Premier League. Since returning to the Premier League in 2014-15, only Manchester City had now taken (33) and scored (25) more penalties than the Foxes (24 scored out of 31). Harry Maguire had now scored two goals in seven appearances in this Premier League season; the same total in his 38 games for City in 2017-18.
