Comments:

League position: 8th . Chelsea avoided beginning a season without a win in their first three games in the Premier League for the first time since 1998-99. . This was their first home league win since the visit of Leeds United on 4 March 2023; longer than any other current Premier League team. . This was the Blues' first win in their last team home games in all competitions; their longest such run since April 1988.

Comments:

League position: 20th . Luton Town became the second team to play away in each of their first two games in the Premier League after Blackpool in August 2010. . Carlton Morris failed in his attempt to become the first player to score in the opening two games of a team's debut season in the Premier League since Ricardo Fuller for Stoke City in 2008-09. . The Hatters had now lost consecutive league games for the first time since August 2022 when they dropped to 23rd position in the League Championship.
