Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers remained unbeaten in five consecutive games in the top division for the first time since November 1981. Wolves had now taken 12 points after seven games of this season having not previously taken ten points in fewer than 11 games at the start of a Premier League season. They had now named the same starting XI in all seven of their league games this season to become the third team to do so in the first seven games of a Premier League season; also Leeds United in 1992-93 and Aston Villa in 2008-09.

Comments:

League position: 15th Southampton had now won only four of their last 32 games in the Premier League (one at home and three away). The Saints had now scored 45 goals in their last 51 games in the Premier League. They remained without a win in their last 30 games in the Premier League since April 2017 against opponents in the top half of the table (lost 19).
