0: <\/strong>Sheffield United are still waiting for their first clean sheet of the 2020-21 season following Saturday’s 1-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion. Only three other teams – Burton Albion, Oldham Athletic, and Oxford United – have failed to record a shutout in England’s 92-club professional pyramid.<\/p>\n

1:<\/strong> Leeds United won their first Premier League match away at Everton. They finally succeeded on their 13th attempt.<\/p>\n

5:<\/strong> Manchester City have recorded 5-0 wins in each of their last four visits from Burnley. Sean Dyche must’ve been dreading Saturday’s trip.<\/p>\n

6:<\/strong> Points Liverpool have dropped from winning positions following their 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion. They let five points slip away from winning positions over the entire 2019-20 campaign.<\/p>\n

8:<\/strong> Number of decisions overturned following video reviews that haven’t worked in Liverpool’s favor. Over last season’s entirety, there were three decisions overturned by VAR that scuppered Liverpool and five the team benefitted from.<\/p>\n

25:<\/strong> Kevin De Bruyne’s assists since the start of the 2019-20 campaign. Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson is next behind the City playmaker with 15.<\/p>\n

40%:<\/strong> The percentage of Brazilian players in the Premier League who have scored from outside the box. No other nation with 50 or more representatives has a better ratio. Leeds’ Raphinha was the 35th on the list following his match-winning strike at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

87:<\/strong> Leeds’ total efforts on goal in their matches against Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, and Manchester City.<\/p>\n

123:<\/strong> Brighton have fired the fourth-most shots this term, more than the likes of Chelsea (119), Tottenham Hotspur (115), Manchester United (109), Leicester City (86), and Arsenal (82).<\/p>\n

2012:<\/strong> City winger Riyad Mahrez was the first player to score a hat-trick and create six or more chances in a single game since Arsenal’s Santi Cazorla put Reading to the sword in December 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
