Comments:

League position: 20th Swansea City had now taken fewest points (seven) and scored the fewest goals (five) in home games so far in this Premier League season. The Swans conceded four goals in a home game in the Premier League for the first time since Manchester United's 4-0 win on 19 August 2017. They had now lost seven of their last nine games in the Premier League (won one).

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City became the first team to win 15 consecutive league games in English senior football to surpass the record jointly held by Arsenal (Premier League 2001-02/2002-03), Preston North End (League Division Two 1950-51), Bristol City (League Division Two 1905-06) and Manchester United (League Division Two 1904-05). City had now scored 52 goals in this Premier League season; more than 12 teams scored in the whole of the previous season. Based on three points for a win, their total of 49 points was now three more than any other team after 17 games of a top division season (46 by Chelsea in the Premier League in 2005-06 and by Tottenham Hotspur in League Division One in 1960-61).
