Comments:

League position: 7th Sheffield United had now won one of their last 16 league games against reigning champions (lost 13) and lost the last seven without scoring. Four of the Blades' seven defeats so far in this Premier League season had now been against teams starting the day in the top three. They had also failed to score in those four defeats. Dean Henderson had now saved five of the ten penalties he had faced in his senior club career, and seven of 15 at all levels including Under-21 internationals.

Comments:

League position: 2nd 11,000 goals had now been scored in Manchester City’s 3,644 games in the top division (for 5,756, conceded 5,244). City had now scored more away league goals so far in this season than any other team in Europe's top five divisions (34). Gabriel Jesus' 36th minute penalty was saved. He had now missed three of his last five penalties in the Premier League.
