Comments:

League position: 12th Defending champions Leicester City had now taken eight points from their first seven games of the Premier League season. The Foxes were now unbeaten in their last 19 home Premier League games since September 2015 (won 12). They had now conceded only one goal in four Premier League games at King Power Stadium so far in this season.

Comments:

League position: 10th Southampton had now kept clean sheets in all of their last six games in all competitions. The Saints had now won two of their last three Premier League games after failing to win any of the first four in this season. Following a goalless draw at Hapoel Beer Sheva three days earlier in the UEFA Europa League, this was Southampton's first goalless game in the Premier League since their visit to Arsenal on 2 February 2016.
