Comments:

League position: 11th This was Aston Villa's first draw in this Premier League season; Leicester City remained as the only team yet to draw a game in the division in 2020-21. This was Villa's first draw at Villa Park since the visit of Sheffield United in the Premier League on 17 June 2020; also 0-0. Emiliano Martínez had now kept clean sheets in more games than any other goalkeeper so far in this Premier League season (six in 11 appearances).

Comments:

League position: 17th Burnley had now lost one of their last six games in the Premier League (won two, four clean sheets). The Clarets only win in their 16 away league games in the top division played on a Thursday was now on 27 April 1961 in League Division One at Birmingham City. They avoided losing seven of their opening 12 games of a Premier League season for the second time; previously in 2018-19.
