Comments:

League position: 13th Wolverhampton Wanderers set a new club record of 17 consecutive top division games without a win. The previous record of 16 games had stood since 1970. Wolves had now lost two of their 28 home games in all competitions under manager Nuno Espírito Santo (won 18). On this weekend five years earlier (2013), they played Crawley Town at Molineux in League One (won 2-1).

Comments:

League position: 2nd This draw ended Manchester City's run of seven consecutive away wins in the Premier League. City had now lost one of their last 30 games in the Premier League against newly promoted teams (won 22). In the 13 games under Pep Guardiola, they had yet to lose against a newly promoted team (won nine). Almost ten years to the day since making his debut (versus West Ham United on 24 August 2008), Vincent Kompany became the fourth player to make 250 appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League (also Joe Hart 266, Richard Dunne 253 and David Silva 251).
