Crazy Stat Time!

[oxford blue]

Vardy is now the oldest top tier debutant (at 27) across all clubs to have gone on to score 140 goals since Arthur Chandler, who made his debut at 29 in First Division, and also a City player (Of course, he is City's greatest goal scorer - despite never scoring a penalty.

 

If Vardy is still with the club and scores after 15 Feb 2026 he will become the oldest scorer!

[urban.spaceman]

Vardy has now scored the first goal for the last 6 Leicester managers.

[StanSP]

El Khannous the youngest player to score and assist for us in the PL since Heskey in 1998. Which was also against West Ham... 

[Free Falling Foxes]

From BBC Sport:

Interestingly, it’s the third time on record (since 2003-04) a team has had 20 first-half shots without a goal in the Premier League, with all of them coming against Leicester (Liverpool in December 2015, Crystal Palace in April 2023, West Ham tonight).

No matter how bad you think the season has been, or is going - Objective One Complete: We’re better than Derby!!!

[Sunbury Fox]

Can anyone explain how our 7 'big chances' tonight equated to an xG of only 1.39? Surely each big chance must have an xG of at least 0.25 to be classed as a big chance?

Please name the managers and the games, because I tried to verify this, and couldn't. Does it include the interim managers?

Ranieri 

Shakespeare

Puel

Rodgers

Cooper 
Ruud

 

Permanent managers in the PL, so it doesn’t include Smith or Enzo.

[Aus Fox]

That was also Jamie Vardy’s 100th combined goals and assists at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League.

Only the 14th player in PL history to have 100 goal involvements at a single stadium.

Can anyone name the other 13?

Rooney and Giggs I'd assume must be two of them, at Old Trafford. 

 

Shearer at Newcastle.

 

Henry at Highbury? 

 

Kane at Spurs. Aguero at Man City. Lampard at Chelsea.

Fotmob have us with an xG of 1.67. As far as I can tell, a big chance is > 0.1xG, so really not very big.

Leicester have won six Premier League away games against Newcastle, more than versus any other opponent.

Five of these victories have come in their past seven visits to St James' Park.

Shearer making the list twice is impressive. Imagine what he could have won had he moved to Manchester when they wanted him.
