What happened. Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Fulham, failing to hit the tempo Andoni Iraola demands. Chelsea were pegged back 2-2 by newly-promoted Hull, extending their run without a Premier League clean sheet to 20 games.
- Fulham earned their first point of the campaign and looked likely winners at Anfield.
- Chelsea's defensive frailties persist despite Emi Martinez's arrival in goal.
- Aston Villa are flagged as having major attacking concerns.
Liverpool's home form and Chelsea's defensive record will face further scrutiny as the season progresses.
