Comments:

League position: 16th Leeds United avoided failing to win any of their opening seven games of a league season for the first time in their history. 6,000 goals had now been scored in United's 2,105 games in top division (3,148 for, 2,852 against). The Whites had now scored one goal in each of five of their seven games so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 14th After ten months in charge, manager Xisco was sacked the following day. Watford failed in their attempt to win consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2017. The Hornets had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games in the Premier League. They had now failed to score in four of their last six games in the Premier League.
