Comments:

League position: 16th Excluding the first two games of a season, this was the first time that Arsenal had started a game in the bottom position of the top division since 12 October 1974 in League Division One. The Gunners avoided equalling the club record of losing the first four games of a league season; most recently set in 1923. They had now won 14 of their last 16 games in the Premier League when they scored the opening goal (lost one).

Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City equalled their the club record of losing their four opening games of a league season; most recently set in 1938 in League Division Two. The Canaries had now lost their last 14 games in Premier League; only Manchester United (14 in League Division One) in 1930 and Sunderland (20 in the Premier League) in 2005 had lost as many or more consecutive games in the top division. City had now lost 42 of their last 43 games in the Premier League when they had conceded the opening goal.
