Comments:

League position: 15th This was Fulham’s 500th game in the Premier League; the 15th team to reach the milestone. Since making his Fulham debut on 3 February 2018, Aleksandar Mitrović had now scored more league goals in the top four divisions than any other player (17). The Cottagers avoided conceding at least two goals in ten consecutive games in the top division. They had equalled the club record of nine games that had stood since December 1951.

Comments:

League position: 4th Watford became the first team to start their first six games of a Premier League season with the same starting XI since Aston Villa in 2008-09. Andre Gray's opening goal was timed at 87 seconds. It was Watford's second quickest-ever goal in the Premier League after Etienne Capoue against Leicester City on 19 November 2016 in 32 seconds. The Hornets failed in their attempt to win five of their opening six games of a top division season for the first time. This was Watford's first score draw in an away game in the Premier League since their visit to West Bromwich Albion on 30 September 2017 (2-2).
