Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City boss Dean Smith was sacked as Aston Villa manager 38 days before this game (7 November 2021). The Canaries had now failed to score in nine of their last 12 games in the Premier League. City remained without a win in the 16 games they had now played in the Premier League on a Tuesday (lost 12).

Comments:

League position: 9th Aston Villa had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 15 away games in the Premier League. Villa had now scored 50 goals in their 41 games in the Premier League in 2021 (conceded 57). They had now taken 22 from their 17 games so far in this Premier League season; seven points fewer than at the same stage of the previous season.
