League position: 4th Chelsea avoided losing consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2011. The Blues had now kept consecutive clean sheets for the first time in this Premier League season. Cesc Fàbregas made his 500th appearance for English clubs in all competitions and his 350th appearance in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 18th Southampton remained without a win in 16 away games in the Premier League against teams who finished in the top six in the previous season (lost 12). This was the Saints' first clean sheet in their last 11 games in the Premier League. At 22 years and 346 days, Angus Gunn became the youngest English goalkeeper to start their first game in the Premier League since Jordan Pickford for Sunderland against Tottenham Hotspur on 16 January 2016 (21 years and 315 days).
