Comments:

League position: 13th Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided losing their opening two home games of a season in the top division for the third time. Wolves became the fourth club to win 2,000 games in the Premier League and Football League. They remained unbeaten in their last eight home games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams since the visit of Queens Park Rangers on 17 September 2011 (won five).

Comments:

League position: 20th Fulham had now conceded 11 goals in their first four games of a league season for the first time since 1960-61 in League Division One [14]. The Whites had now lost their opening four games of a top division season for the second time; also 1951-52 in League Division One. They had now conceded less than two goals in five of their 22 games in the Premier League since January 2019.
