Comments:

League position: 12th . Aston Villa failed in their attempt to win their opening two games of a season in the Premier League for a fourth time. . Villa had won their first home game in the Premier League in each of the four preceding seasons. . They had now conceded two or more goals in nine of their last 11 home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 3rd . Arsenal had now won four of their last nine Saturday 5.30pm kick off games in the Premier League (lost three). . The Gunners had now won their opening two games of a league season without conceding a goal for the first time since 1971-72 in League Division One. . They had now not been behind at any stage in their last ten away games in the Premier League; their longest such sequence in the division. [c/o Harvey Downes]
