4 - In the first 31 UEFA Champions League campaigns, only three English players appeared in a semi-final for a non-English club (McManaman, Hargreaves, Tomori). This season, there's been four (Dier, Kane, Bellingham, Sancho). Exports.

🚩Highest proportion of opposition corners which result in a shot
↩️Worst xG faced from inswinging corners
🥅Joint-most goals conceded from the first touch after a corner
Why Tottenham's set-piece issues should concern Ange Postecoglou.

2 - Nottingham Forest had more shots in both of their Premier League games v Man City this season. They are only the second team to outshoot a Pep Guardiola side both home & away in a season in the Spaniard's top-flight managerial career, after Real Madrid in 2009-10. Seriously.

14 - Despite only playing 21 of Manchester City's 54 games in all competitions this season, no Premier League player has more assists in all competitions in 2023-24 than Kevin De Bruyne (14, level with Bukayo Saka in 45 apps). Machine.

1988 - Arsenal have won consecutive top-flight away games against Tottenham for the first time since September 1988 (three under George Graham). Prior to this, they had only won two of their previous 17 away games against Spurs in the Premier League (D6 L9). Pride.
