Comments:

League position: 15th Manchester United had now failed to win in their last six home games in the Premier League (lost three). They had now failed to win in their opening four home games of a league season for the first time since 1972-73 in League Division One. The Red Devils failed to score in consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2014. This was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 100th game in charge of United (won 55, lost 24). He had now won 199 of his 374 senior games in his managerial career (lost 104).

Comments:

League position: 9th Arsenal won an away game in the Premier League at one of their Big Six opponents for the first time since 18 January 2015 (at Manchester City) to end a run of 29 such games without a win (lost 19, one clean sheet). The Gunners now had the best defensive record so far in this Premier League season (played seven, conceded seven goals). They avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League without scoring for the first time since December 2005.
