Martin’s Starting Stats

I was at the 17th Jose Mourinho v Pep Guardiola clash on Saturday – and the first as a Manchester derby. The last was Bayern v Chelsea in the Super Cup in 2013. It was Pep’s ninth win (including that shoot-out win), while Jose has won three and there have been five draws.

City have taken 13 points from their last six trips to Old Trafford. Man Utd went behind for the first time this season and the goal that put them behind from Kevin De Bruyne was the 100th league goal that City have scored away to United in history.

Kelechi Iheanacho became the youngest City player to score in a Premier League derby. Marcus Rashford scored the winner in the previous derby and is the youngest Premier League derby scorer overall. Mario Balotelli was the previous youngest for City, while Wayne Rooney was younger than Iheanacho when he scored his first derby goal.

Despite the defeat, Mourinho still has the satisfaction of being the only manager to finish above Guardiola in his seven seasons as a manager – as his Real Madrid side finished above Barcelona in 2011/12.

Liverpool’s half century

Has any team scored more Premier League goals than Liverpool in 2016? Ben R

Martin says: No, they have not! Jurgen Klopp’s men lead the way with 50 goals in the league for the year and reached that total when they put four past champions Leicester on Saturday.

And the top scorers will face the joint second-top scorers on Friday Night Football this week as Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, so hopefully there will be plenty of goals in the match I’m commentating on!

Chelsea, along with Manchester City, have managed 45 goals in 2016. Both scored twice at the weekend, but it was City who maintained their 100% start to the campaign, thanks to the derby win over neighbours United.

Antonio Conte had to make do with a point, as Chelsea let slip a one-goal advantage, before eventually coming from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw.

Tottenham are fourth with 43 goals, thanks in part to their four-goal haul against Stoke on Saturday, and West Ham are one behind on 42.

West Brom have scored the fewest goals (18) of a club to be in the Premier League throughout the whole of 2016, Crystal Palace have netted 19 and Watford and Stoke have both managed 23 so far.

Cazorla’s penalty run

Santi Cazorla’s past seven Premier League goals for Arsenal have all been penalties – is that a …
