Did you know?
- Manchester City have won all 15 of their games against Fulham under Pep Guardiola (all competitions), with this now his longest ever winning streak against an opponent in his managerial career.
- City have an identical home record to current leaders Arsenal in the Premier League this season (32 points – W10 D2 L1), as well as conceding the same number of goals (8). City have scored one more goal than the Gunners, however (32 to 31).
- This was the 33rd time that Manchester City had led by 3+ goals at half time of a Premier League match under Pep Guardiola. Since he arrived at the club ahead of the 2016-17 season, this is more than twice as often as any other team has done so in the competition (16 by Tottenham the next most).
