Can you tell the real Manchester City stat, from the one we just made up?

LIVERPOOL MAY HAVE put paid to any thoughts that Manchester City would join Arsenal in going through a Premier League season unbeaten last weekend, but Pep Guardiola’s side have an immediate chance to bounce back against Newcastle on Saturday [KO: 5.30pm, live on BT Sport 1].

Before they take on Rafa Benitez’s side, we thought it would be worth taking a look back at City’s record-breaking start to the league, and see if you can tell the real Premier League statistic from the one we just made up.

It’s trickier than it sounds.

1. They have scored as many goals (2) on the counter attack, as opponents have scored own goals.
