Leicester got 2 wins then 1 draw 7 points at first 3 games Man City got 3 wins 9 points

Leicester won 4-2 and 2-1 in game 1 and 2 Man City won 3-0 and 3-0

Man City must be ranked 1st ahead of Leicester then! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.78.162.75 (talk) 19:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

It is result by matchday, not round, since there is consensus that no rounds exists in England as matches may get moved around. For that reason we list the position at the end of the day they played (i.e. matchday). This is also what the source for that section does. Qed237 (talk) 21:05, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
As QED says, it's because Leicester played their 3rd game before Man City, not all games are played on the same day and the concept of "rounds" doesn't exist in England as it does in other countries, because cup games in later rounds run at the same time as league games meaning games get re-arranged so not everyone plays the same numbered fixture on the same weekend etc. (and the cup tradition is very old in England, the FA Cup is the oldest professional tournament in he world in fact), so it's done on where they were at the end of the game, not the end of the "round" of fixtures. When Leicester had 7 points off 3 games, Man City hadn't played their 3rd game yet and had only 6 points off 2 games, so Leicester were top. --MIR17 (talk) 22:12, 12 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
