Comments:

League position: 17th West Bromwich Albion avoided failing to win any of their opening ten games of a league season for the second time in their history; previously in 1985-86 in League Division One. Albion had now scored two goals in their last seven games in the Premier League. This was the Baggies' first win in their last 14 league games (lost seven).

Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now failed to win any of their opening ten games of a league season for the second time in their history; also 1990-91 in League Division One. The Blades became the first team to take only one point from their opening ten games of a top division season since West Bromwich Albion in League Division One in 1985-86. So far in this Premier League season, they remained as the only team that had yet to keep a clean sheet and the only team to lose all of their away games.
