SANCHEZ TOPS CREATOR CHARTS

Alexis Sanchez may have failed to get on the scoresheet on Sunday as Laurent Koscienly secured Arsenal a last-minute win over Burnley, but the Chile international created the most chances - a whopping eight - of any player in the Premier League.

LIVERPOOL THE LAST MINUTE KINGS

The Premier League is famed - if not defined - by it's stoppage time goal action and nobody epitomises that trend better than Liverpool, who've netted 28 ninetieth-minute winners in the history of the competition. Curiously, Manchester 'Fergie Time' United have scored nine less.

ARSENAL'S RUDE AWAKENING

Arsenal are taking the phrase 'flat track bullies' to new levels. The Gunners haven't lost any of their last 25 games against newly promoted sides (including Sunday's opponents Burnley), winning a staggering 23.

MAN CITY'S HOODOO

One feat Manchester City's Sheikh owners haven't been able to buy their way out of; from the 48 occasions in which the Citzens have been two goals down at half-time in the Premier League, they've failed to overturn the deficit and claim a comeback win. That includes their 2-0 defeat to Spurs on Sunday.

JOSHUA THE IMPACT KING

Rather incredibly, it took Joshua King less than a minute to find the net after coming on as a substitute against Watford on Saturday. His strike, the fastest substitute goal this season, was unfortunately cancelled out by Isaac Success in a 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road.

BIG VICK'S STILL A BLUE

You'd be forgiven for forgetting Victor Moses is still on the books at Chelsea, having spent the last three years loaned out to rival Premier League clubs. Well, the Nigerian international impressed in pre-season and found himself deployed as a wing-back against Hull City last weekend, making his first Blues start in over three years.

MAN CITY'S MULTIPLE COMBOS

Manchester City have scored the joint-most goals of any Premier League side this season, an impressive 18, along with Liverpool. But according to Whoscored, no City player has assisted the same team-mate on more than one occasion this season. In other words, all 18 of their league goals have come through different assist-to-goal combinations. A tactical consequence or a statistical anomaly? We'll let you decide.
