Premier League Stat Pack: Matchday 8

Cristiano Ronaldo’s only previous appearance against Leicester in his career was in a 1-0 win for Man United at Old Trafford in April 2004 (Gary Neville scoring the winner). The Foxes would be the 120th different opponent Ronaldo has scored against in his club career if he finds the net here.

Riyad Mahrez has scored more Premier League goals against Burnley than he has against any other side in the competition (8). Seven of these eight goals have been in five games with Manchester City, including a hat-trick in this exact fixture last season.

Against no team have Leeds won more Premier League games than they have against Southampton (14), with the Whites winning home and away against Saints the last term.

No player has had more ball carries leading to a shot (12) or a goal (3) than Everton’s Demarai Gray in the Premier League this season. West Ham’s Michail Antonio has also had three-ball carries leading to a goal this term.

Five of Harry Kane’s six Premier League goals for Tottenham against Newcastle have come at St James’ Park. He’s only scored more away goals against Leicester (8) and Everton (7) in the competition than he has against the Magpies.

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last three Premier League away games against Arsenal (W1 D2). The Eagles had only avoided defeat in three of their previous 16 visits to Highbury/Emirates Stadium in league competition (W1 D2 L13).
