The 2019-20 Premier League season was suspended in March, with most teams having played 29 of their 38 scheduled matches. We take a closer look at the campaign’s most salient statistics thus far.

 

784 – The total number of goals scored in the 2019-20 season, at an average of 2.72 per match. The 2018-19 campaign had 1072 goals at an average of 2.82 per match.

 

25 – The points lead enjoyed by table-toppers Liverpool, who look destined to win their first league title since 1990 if and when the season is completed. "This team is not a finished article," said manager Jurgen Klopp. "It's not done yet, we have a lot of space for improvement yet. There is fresh blood internally coming up. We can mix things through. We can improve it with this team which is really great."

 

5 Jurgen Klopp has won five of the seven Manager of the Month awards given out this season, reflecting Liverpool’s dominance of the Premier League.


11 – The number of clean sheets kept by Burnley’s Nick Pope, the best record of any goalkeeper in the Premier League this season.

92 – The number scheduled matches remaining in the 2019-20 season.

 

19 – The number of goals netted by Jamie Vardy, who tops the scoring charts ahead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (17), Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah (16 each). “It's freakish what he's done for Leicester this season,” said Paul Merson. “He's recaptured his form and is back to the Vardy we all knew, and that Vardy is an absolute nightmare to play against.”


8 – There have been eight hat-tricks so far this Premier League season. Two of them arrived in the same match, with both Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy scoring three goals in Leicester City’s 9-0 away win over Southampton. The Foxes’ victory over the Saints is the biggest win of the season so far, the highest-scoring match and equalled Manchester United’s 9-0 win over Ipswich in 1995 as the biggest win in Premier League history.
 

27 Liverpool had put together a run of 27 unbeaten league matches this season before that record was ended by Watford, who ironically have the longest winless run of the campaign with 11 matches.

 

16 – Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne is way out ahead in the assists chart, teeing up 16 goals for teammates so far this season.
