Comments:

League position: 15th Due to their involvement in the UEFA Europa League, this was Burnley's sixth game in 25 days. They had now lost their opening home game in the Premier League in each of the last four seasons. The Clarets had now kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 home games in the Premier League since December 2017.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Watford had now won their opening two games of a top division season for the second time; also 1982-83 in League Division One. After failing to score in their last eight away games in the Premier League in 2017-18, Watford took only three minutes to score their first away goal of this new season. Watford scored three goals in an away game for the first time since their 3-0 win at Newcastle United in the Premier League on 25 November 2017.
