Comments:

League position: 3rd Chelsea failed in their attempt win their opening four home games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2014-15. The Blues remained unbeaten after seven games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2014-15. After scoring the winner in the previous midweek's visit to Liverpool in the League Cup, Eden Hazard had now scored five goals in his last three games in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool failed in their attempt to win their first seven games of a top division season for only the second time; they did so in 1990-91. Daniel Sturridge became the seventh player to score 50 or more goals for the Reds in the Premier League (103 games). They had now won one of their last nine away games in the Premier League against the big six opponents (lost four).
