  • From Manchester City‘s 16-game winning run to Mohamed Salah‘s fantastic goalscoring form, these five stats from the latest Premier League fixtures are worth checking out.

    Romelu Lukaku‘s goalscoring run against West Bromwich Albion, Marcos Alonso‘s excellent contribution going forward and Rafa Benitez‘s trips to Arsenal also feature.

    MAN CITY’S WINNING RUN

    The record-setting streak is now at 16 after City’s demolition of Spurs.

    Tottenham ended Chelsea’s winning run last season, just one short of setting a new record, but they couldn’t stop City this time around.

    City look unstoppable at the moment.

    SALAH HITS 20

    Liverpool have been crying out for a consistent goalscorer ever since Luis Suarez left in 2014 and Daniel Sturridge began to struggle with injuries soon after.

    Step forth Mo Salah, who is now on 20 for the season across all competitions – the first player to hit that mark since Suarez and Sturridge four seasons ago.

    Salah is compiling one of the best seasons by a Liverpool player in modern times.

    BENITEZ’S BOGEY GROUND

    Newcastle United have been in dire need of a win, but the Emirates Stadium was never going to be the place they would secure the three points.

    Rafael Benitez has never won an away game against Arsenal, who hung on for a 1-0 victory on Saturday.

    The Emirates Stadium hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Benitez.

    LUKAKU LOVES WEST BROM

    Romelu Lukaku enjoyed a productive loan spell at West Brom early in his career, but that’s not the only reason he loves the club.

    They’re also one of his favourite opponents – after Sunday’s goal, he’s now scored five and assisted three against the Baggies.

    Lukaku had a good season on loan with West Brom, but he shows them no mercy.

    ALONSO LEADING FROM THE BACK

    Yet another goal from Marcos Alonso, who’s making a habit of providing a goalscoring threat for Chelsea despite nominally being a left wingback.

    Since his Chelsea debut last season, he’s leading all Premier League defenders in goal involvements.

    No defender provides more of an attacking threat than Marcos Alonso.
