Comments:

League position: 1st Although they were now 16 points clear at the top of the table, Manchester City had now won consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since 27 December 2017. David Silva had now scored six goals in his last four away games in the Premier League after scoring once in the previous 34. Gabriel Jesus made his first start in a Premier League game in 2018 and had not now been on the losing side in his 31 appearances in the Premier League; only three players had now had longer unbeaten starts to their careers in the competition.
