Comments:

League position: 17th West Bromwich Albion had now been involved in four goalless draws in their last 15 league games. The Baggies remained without a win in their first five games of a league season for the first time since 2004-05 in the Premier League. Albion remained without a win in nine consecutive league games for the first time since April 2018 in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 18th Burnley avoided losing five consecutive games in the top division for the first time since January 1976 in League Division One. The Clarets avoided losing their opening four games of a league season for the first time since 2002-03 in League Division 1 (second tier) and in the top division for the first time since 1927-28 in League Division One. They had now failed to score in two of their last 12 games in the Premier League.
