Comments:

League position: 1st Leicester City had now taken 400 points from their 269 home games in the Premier League (won 107, lost 83). The Foxes had now won their opening two games of a Premier League season for the third time (also 1997-98 and 2015-16). City's Burnley-born goalscorer Harvey Barnes is the son of former Burnley forward, Paul Barnes.

Comments:

League position: 14th Burnley lost their opening games for the first time in the last four Premier League seasons (won two). Former Leicester City forward Chris Wood had now scored in four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time in his career. While Jimmy Dunne made his Premier League debut in this game, fellow defender Phil Bardsley made his 300th career appearance in the division.
