Comments:

League position: 15th This was new manager Frank Lampard's first game in charge at Stamford Bridge. He became the first Chelsea manager to fail to win any of his first three games in charge since Rafa Benítez in December 2012. Mason Mount became the first English-born player to score for Chelsea under an English manager since Dennis Wise under Glenn Hoddle against Blackburn Rovers in May 1996. The Blues had won their opening home game in 14 of the preceding 16 seasons in the Premier League (lost one).

Comments:

League position: 12th Leicester City became the 16th club to play 500 games in the Premier League (won 157, lost 205). The Foxes had now conceded 400 goals in their 250 away games in the Premier League (scored 292). Wilfred Ndidi scored in his 100th start for City in all competitions.
