Comments:

Southampton were now without a win in their last five opening weekend games in the Premier League (lost one). The Saints had now won one of their last 12 home games in the Premier League (lost five). Southampton manager Mark Hughes had now won two of his 13 opening day games as a Premier League manager (lost eight); the fewest number of wins of any manager to take charge of at least 13 such games.

Comments:

In their fifth season, this was the first time that Burnley had opened a Premier League season with a draw (lost three). This was the Clarets' fourth competitive game of the 2018-19 season having played three games in the UEFA Europa League, and their second goalless draw in four days. Ashley Barnes became the first player to make 100 appearances for Burnley in the Premier League.
