MOTM: Phil Foden.

Rodri is now just five games away from surpassing the all-time record for the longest unbeaten Premier League win streak, currently held by Jens Lehmann (47), unbeaten between May 2003 and October 2004.

Phil Foden is the fifth player to reach 20+ goals and 10+ assists while playing for a side in Europe’s big five leagues this season (all competitions), with four of those five being English players (Kane, Bellingham, Watkins and Foden).

Phil Foden’s goal against Aston Villa was his 79th for Manchester City in all competitions, but first to come from a direct free-kick. Indeed, his 12 Premier League goals this season are now his most in a single campaign.

Rodri has scored eight goals for Manchester City across all competitions this season; his most in a single campaign in his club career.

Manchester City are now unbeaten in their last 40 home games in all competitions (W34 D6), only the second time in their history the Citizens have recorded a run of 40+ matches without defeat on home soil (42 games from December 1919 to November 1921).

Aston Villa suffered their first away defeat of 2024 in the Premier League (P6 W3 D2 L1). The Villans have now, however, lost 19 of their last 20 away games in the competition against sides starting the day in the top three of the table (W1).
