Comments:

League position: 15th Manchester United had now failed to win any of their opening three home games of a league season for first time since 1972-73 in League Division One. United avoided losing their opening three home games of a league season for the second time in their history; previously in 1930-31 in League Division One. The Red Devils failed to score for first time in their last 30 games in all competitions since a goalless draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at Old Trafford on 1 February 2020.

Comments:

League position: 6th Chelsea had now been involved in goalless draws in consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since January 2018. The Blues had now kept clean sheets in two of their last 22 away games in the Premier League. They had now drawn five of their nine games in all competitions so far in this season (won three, lost one).
