Comments:

Leeds United had lost their two previous opening games since returning to the Premier League in 2020. The Whites had now won two of their last ten home games in the Premier League (lost six). They had now kept a clean sheet in two of last 25 games in the Premier League.

Comments:

Wolverhampton Wanderers had now lost their opening game in consecutive league seasons for the first time since 2005. Wolves remained without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League (lost six). They remained without a win in the Premier League since 2 April 2022 against Aston Villa; longer than any other current team in the division except Fulham and Nottingham Forest.
