Manchester United vs Chelsea & 10 Stats Facts: Which Team Has The Edge?
Looking at the following 10 statistical facts, which team—between Manchester United and Chelsea—deserves to be tagged as the favourite?
1) Chelsea are holding a 10-match unbeaten run which commenced with a goalless draw away to Fulham on February 14 and followed with a 2-1 victory at home to Man United on March 1.
2) Manchester United have lost 3 of their last 8 matches. Interestingly, those defeats occurred against their Big Four rivals—Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal respectively.
3) Manchester United and Chelsea have both won 21 matches, but the Blues have drawn 3 less and lost 3 more matches than the Red Devils.
4) Manchester United remain unbeaten at Old Trafford, having bagged 16 victories in 17 home matches in the English Premier League this season.
5) Chelsea have conceded almost 2 times more away from home than Manchester United on home soil. Numbers say that the Red Devils have allowed 9 goals in their net at the Theatre of Dreams whereas Chelsea have conceded as much as 17 goals in 17 matches away from the Bridge.
6) Manchester United have conceded more goals in total than Chelsea. However, the current English Premier League leaders have also scored more than their blue rivals. The records read 71-33 compared to 66-28. As a result, both Manchester United and Chelsea have a +38 goal difference ahead of Sunday’s big showdown.
7) Manchester United have managed 3 clean sheets in their last 4 matches, but they’ve also scored only thrice—with a disappointing goalless draw against Newcastle United falling in between a few weeks ago.
8) Chelsea have apparently found back their scoring habit as they’ve netted 11 goals in their last 4 encounters. Their last 2 goals which occurred against Spurs last weekend, however, where controversial.
9) Manchester United’s top 3 goal scorers—Berbatov (21), Chicharito (12) and Rooney (10)—have scored as much goals in total as Chelsea’s top 4 goal scorers—Malouda (13), Drogba (11), Kalou (10) and Lampard (9). In total, these two groups of players have netted 43 goals each.
10) Nani and Rooney combined have made more assists than Chelsea’s top 4 assists leaders in total.
