Comments:

League position: 4th Leicester City failed in their attempt to win four of their opening five games of a season in the top division for the first time. The Foxes had now kept a clean sheet in one of their last seven games in the Premier League. Islam Slimani made his first appearance for City since a FA Cup 3rd round replay against Fleetwood Town on 16 January 2018.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Aston Villa had now won their opening four games of a league season for the first time since the 1930-31 in League Division One. They had now won four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2009. Ross Barkley had now scored in both of his two games for Villa in the Premier League (two goals); as many as he had scored in his last 42 appearances for Chelsea.
