By the numbers: Contrasts between Manchester City, Crystal Palace

Manchester City's 5-0 shaming of Crystal Palace on Saturday left the former atop the Premier League on goal difference, while the latter props up the table with no points. Here, we explore the numbers between two teams with contrasting records:

0 - Total number of tackles performed by Crystal Palace's central defensive partnership of Mamadou Sakho and Scott Dann.

0 - Total number of shots on target from Crystal Palace.

1 - Crystal Palace became the first club since the English Football League was formed in 1888 to lose its first six matches of the season without scoring.

2 - Crystal Palace is just the second Premier League club to lose its opening six games of the season. Portsmouth was the other, in 2009-10, and finished that season at the bottom.

3 - Leroy Sane was involved in three of Manchester City's five goals, with one goal and two assists.

5 - Raheem Sterling's goal tally across his last four league outings. The same number the winger had mustered in his previous 31 showings.

22 - Goals scored by Manchester City in its last five matches across all competitions.

24 - Touches Yohan Cabaye made before being substituted after 56 minutes.

31 - Touches Christian Benteke made before being substituted after 71 minutes.

59 years - Manchester City is the first team to score five-plus goals in three consecutive top-flight matches since Blackburn Rovers in the 1958-59 season.

176 - Sergio Aguero is now one strike short of Manchester City's all-time goal-scoring record of 177. That count has gone untroubled since Eric Brook hung up his boots in 1939.

333 - Total touches made by Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, and David Silva in Saturday's whitewash.
