Comments:

League position: 9th Manchester City avoided losing their opening two home games of a league season for the first time since 1953-54 in League Division One. Two of City's last ten wins in the Premier League had now been by a single goal margin. They had now taken 28 points from their last 11 home games in the Premier League against the other Big Six opponents (lost one).

Comments:

League position: 5th Arsenal remained without a win in their last 29 away games in the Premier League against the other Big Six opponents since January 2015 (lost 19). The Gunners failed to score for the second time in their last 14 games in the Premier League. They had now lost four of their last nine games in the Premier League (won five). Rob Holding was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering a hamstring injury in the pre-match warm-up. David Luiz was promoted to the starting XI.
