Comments:

League position: 9th Leicester City failed in their attempt to win their opening two home games of a season in the top division for the first time since 1966. Former Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho became the 20th player to make 100 appearances for the Foxes in the Premier League. This was Brendan Rodgers’ 250th game as a manager in the Premier League (won 120, lost 73).

Comments:

League position: 3rd Manchester City avoided losing their opening two away games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2006. City had now won at least three of their opening four games in six of the last seven Premier League seasons. Record signing Jack Grealish made his 100th appearance in the Premier League.
