Men’s March international break: Who’s playing where and when?

Having already lifted the Carabao Cup and with an FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool to come, there’s plenty of excitement around the next couple of months.

That FA Cup tie means we aren’t in league action again until a trip to Chelsea on 12 April, when the final run-in to the campaign truly begins.

That also includes the run-in to the Premier League season, where City sit second with 61 points from 30 games.

That’s nine back from leaders Arsenal, who have played one more than us.

Here we’ll have a look at the numbers behind our league season up until this point…

Wins

With 18 victories so far, only Arsenal have picked up three points more often than us.

That means we’ve been victorious in 60% of our matches so far, which is slightly down on Pep Guardiola’s extraordinary Premier League average of 71%.

Again, it’s only Arsenal who have tasted defeat less than us – with City losing five times and Arsenal three.

Goals scored

As always, City continue to score at a prolific rate.

We’ve netted 60 goals so far, averaging exactly two a game.

That’s come from an xG of 55.26, which suggests we’re slightly outperforming the average in front of goal for the number and quality of chances we create.

As for total shots, we’re down in joint-third with Arsenal on 321 – with Manchester United (360) and Liverpool (325) the two above us.

Erling Haaland again leads the way for goals in the division and could be set to win his third Golden Boot in just four seasons.

He’s on 22 strikes at the moment, with Brentford’s Igor Thiago his nearest challenger on 19.

Antoine Semenyo is next on 15, although the Ghana international scored 10 of those for Bournemouth before his January move.

Phil Foden is next in terms of goals, claiming seven so far, while Tijjani Reijnders has chipped in with five.

As you’d expect, Haaland is far and away the most regular when it comes to shooting, taking 84 shots while Semenyo is next on 59 before Brentford’s Thiago on 58.

As for assists, Rayan Cherki is the second best in the division with eight, while Erling Haaland is just one back from him.

Matheus Nunes, Jeremy Doku and Bernardo Silva are all on four each.

Clean sheets

We’ve kept 12 clean sheets in total so far, with 11 of those for Gianluigi Donnarumma and one by James Trafford.

Donnarumma is second only to Arsenal’s David Raya, on 15, in the race for the Golden Glove.

That tracks with how many goals each side has let in, with Arsenal on 22 and City on 28 – far ahead of the next best defences, Everton and Crystal Palace on 35.

Possession

City remain the Premier League’s leading passers, having completed 17,607 so far.

That’s 617 more than the next most possession-based side in Chelsea, while we average 587 passes in every single game.

And as you’d expect, more than 85% of those passes have been defined by Opta as ‘short’.

Meanwhile, only Arsenal have played fewer successful ‘long’ passes than our total of 587.

Matheus Nunes has completed the most passes in a City shirt, although his tally of 1,711 is only the 14th most across the division.

In recent seasons, we’ve grown accustomed to Rodri dominating this statistic but he’s still averaging an impressive 97 per game, which would have put him comfortably top had he played the full season.

Rayan Cherki is trying the most dangerous passes, having hit 21 through balls so far – the second highest total in the division.

Appearances

Bernardo Silva is the only man to have featured in all of our Premier League games so far.

The club captain has played 2,256 minutes so far.

However, Gianluigi Donnarumma (2,430), Erling Haaland (2,419) and Matheus Nunes (2,267) have all been on the pitch for more minutes than the Portuguese midfielder.

Nico O’Reilly (2,135) and Ruben Dias (2,050) are the only other players with more than 2,000 minutes on the pitch in the Premier League for City so far this season.
