Comments:

This was Ipswich Town's first game in the Premier League since 2002. Only Nottingham Forest had now had a bigger gap in competing in the division (23 seasons from 1999 to 2022). . Three years prior to this game, Town began the 2021-22 season with a home game against Morecambe in League One. They finished the season in 11th - their joint lowest final league position since 1952-53 (16th in Division Three South). . This was the Tractor Boys' first defeat in their last 22 home league games (won 16).

Comments:

Following the departure of Jürgen Klopp, this was new manager Arne Slot's first game in charge. . The Reds now remained unbeaten in their opening game of a season in the Premier League since a 3-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion in 2012-13. . Mohamed Salah had now become the first player to score nine or more goals in the opening round of games in Premier League seasons.
