Comments:

League position: 10th Leeds United failed in their attempt to win three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since August 2001. The Whites had now lost six of their nine games played on a Saturday so far in this Premier League season (won two). They had now lost four and drawn one of their five home games so far in this Premier League season against teams in the top half of the table.

Comments:

League position: 8th Aston Villa had now won all of their three away games at the newly-promoted teams in season in the top division for the first time since 1980-81 in League Division One. Villa remained unbeaten in their last seven games in the Premier League played on a Saturday (won six) and kept clean sheets in all of them. They had now scored one goal in each of five of last six games in the Premier League (none in the other).
