Comments:

League position: 11th Chelsea had now conceded 13 goals in their first six games of this Premier League season; the most after their opening six games of a league season since 1978-79 (13) in League Division One. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their seven league and cup games so far in this season. Frank Lampard became the second Blues manager to fail to win any of his first four home games in all competitions (lost two); also Bobby Campbell in 1988. César Azpilicueta scored after 27 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now become the first team to score more than one goal in 15 consecutive games in the top division since Manchester United in 1958-59 in League Division One (22 games). The Reds had now become the first team to win their opening six games in consecutive seasons in the top division. They had now won their last 15 games in the Premier League. The only team with a longer such run in the top division was now Manchester City (18 games from August to December in 2017).
