Manchester City vs Leicester

Manchester City have now won each of their last 13 Premier League clashes with newly-promoted sides, the longest such winning run in their top-flight history.

Leicester are now without a clean sheet in their last 23 Premier League games this season, the longest run without a shutout in a single top-flight campaign since a run of 30 for Wolves in 2011-12.

Leicester's Ruud van Nistelrooy is the first manager to lead the same team on two separate seven game losing runs in a top-flight season since Freddie Cox in 1958-59 with Portsmouth.

Manchester City have won nine of their last 10 Premier League games against Leicester, winning the last six in a row by an aggregate score of 15-4.

None of Leicester’s 12 Premier League away games against Manchester City have been drawn, with the Foxes winning five to City’s seven. Meanwhile, the 10 meetings between the pair at the Etihad Stadium in the competition have produced a total of 43 goals (Man City 25, Leicester 18).

Manchester City have won 21 of their last 22 Premier League games against newly promoted opposition (D1), including each of their last 12 in a row – the joint-longest such winning run in their top-flight history (also 12 in a row from December 2009 to December 2011).

Leicester City have lost 13 of their last 14 Premier League games (W1), including their last six in a row without scoring a single goal. In English top-flight history, only three sides have ever lost 7+ without scoring in succession – Sunderland (8 in January 1977), Ipswich (7 in April 1995), and Crystal Palace (8 in September 2017).

Manchester City have won each of their last 13 Premier League games in April – only Liverpool in December (15 between 2017 and 2020) and Manchester United in March (15 between 2005 and 2009) have had longer winning runs in a specific month in the competition.
