EPL: Man Utd, Spurs Chase History

By Daily sports on August 29, 2021

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 27 Premier League away matches (W17 D10). They will set a new record for the longest unbeaten away run in English Football League history if they avoid defeat today, Sunday, August 29, 2021, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have not lost consecutive home league matches against Man Utd since December 1967.

Mason Greenwood could become just the second teenager to score in his team’s opening three matches of a Premier League campaign, after Robbie Fowler for Liverpool in 1994/95.

Wolves have lost each of their last five Premier League matches, scoring just once.

Elsewhere, Nuno Espirito Santo can be the first Spurs manager to win his first three top-flight matches in charge.

Son Heung-min has scored five goals in nine Premier League appearances against Watford. Only against Southampton has he scored more in the competition, with nine strikes.

Watford have lost each of their last seven Premier League away matches, failing to score on five occasions in that run.

After winning their first three away league matches at Spurs between 1982 and 1985, Watford have since been defeated in nine of their last 10 such visits (D1).

Meanwhile, Chris Wood, who is Burnley’s all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 46 goals, will be aiming to improve his record against his former club Leeds United, against whom he has only netted once in eight league appearances and is goalless in his last five against them.

Burnley have won three of their last four home league games against Leeds (L1), though that one defeat did come in this exact fixture last season (4-0).

Leeds have not drawn a game away from home in the Premier League since February 2004.  In 20 away games in the competition under current manager Marcelo Bielsa, they have won 10 and lost the other 10.

Since Raphinha made his first Premier League start for Leeds in November 2020, no player has made more assists in the competition than the Brazilian’s nine – the joint-most in this period along with Kevin De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes.
