Comments:

This was Leicester City's opening game of this Premier League season. They had lost their first game in each of the previous three seasons. The Foxes had now kept clean sheets in three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since May 2017. City took 17 points from their last nine games in the previous season in Premier League; a total only bettered by the top two teams (Manchester City and Liverpool).

Comments:

Although this was Wolverhampton Wanderers' opening game in this Premier League season, due to their participation in the Premier League Asia Trophy and UEFA Europa League, this was already their sixth game in the 2019-20 season. Leander Dendoncker 'scored' after 51 minutes but the goal was disallowed via a VAR decision due to handball. Wolves had now lost their opening league game in one of the last ten seasons (at Leeds United in the League Championship in 2012). This was their first goalless draw in an away game since their visit to Barnsley in the League Championship on 13 January 2018. Wolves had now drawn 50 of their 191 games in the Premier League (won 48, lost 93).
