- Gerrard has won 7 tackles so far this season, Fabian Delph and Joel Ward are the only Englishmen who have managed more.
- Lucas Leiva has won 13 tackles so far this season. This is more that any other player in the Premier League.
- David Silva became the fourth player to surpass the 100 pass barrier for completed passes in the opponent’s half last weekend, suggesting a return to form for the diminutive Spanish midfielder. Perhaps even more crucially, these have come at a rate of 1.7 minutes on the field per pass, the lowest of any player in the league who has completed more than 60 passes. Silva also currently stands as City’s sharpest shooter in front of goal this season, with 75% of his 4 attempts on goal testing the keeper.
