Since the start of last season, Ederson (23) and Edouard Mendy (19) have kept more Premier League clean sheets than any other keeper.

Against Southampton last week, Manchester City drew for the first time in 2021 (31 Premier League games), since a 1-1 encounter with West Brom at the Etihad in December 2020.

Manchester City have faced just six shots on target in the Premier League this season, with three of those coming in their opening match against Tottenham.

Manchester City had just one shot on target in the whole game against Southampton last week (Phil Foden in the 90th minute), their lowest tally in a Premier League match since March 2017 when they also managed just one, against Stoke City.

City have failed to score in two of their five Premier League games this season, as many as they had in their previous 30 in the competition.

Ederson has kept a clean sheet in 50 per cent of his Premier League games for Man City: 150 games, 75 clean sheets.
