Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now failed to win any of their opening nine games of a league season for the second time in their history; previously 1990-91 in League Division One. The Blades became the third team to take only one point from their opening nine games of a season in the Premier League; Manchester City in 1995-96 and Sheffield Wednesday in 1999-2000 both went on to be relegated. They had now failed to score more than one goal in any of their last 12 games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 8th West Ham United had now scored one goal in each of their last four games in the Premier League. Sébastien Haller scored his first goal in an away game in the Premier League since the Hammers' 1-0 at Southampton on 14 December 2019. After nine games, they had now made only four changes to their starting line-ups so far in this Premier League season.
