BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Manchester United and Middlesbrough clash for the 99th time in the league.
＊ The Red Devils are out to follow up their impressive 4-2 Champions League
win away to Dynamo Kiev, with an eighth straight league victory to jump
over Arsenal and return to the top of the table.
＊ The Teessiders know that a fourth straight league defeat would leave them
fourth bottom, just one point above the relegation zone.
＊ United boast the Premier League's tightest defence with three goals
shipped in 10 outings and an unparalleled seven clean sheets; 'Boro
have conceded the opening goal in an unequalled eight of their 10
games in this division this term.
＊ Boro have only lost once in six Premier League visits to Old Trafford
since March 2002, winning two and drawing three.
CLUB FORM
1. On the joint best current winning streak in the Premier League with
Arsenal, of seven games. Not dropped a point since their only loss of
the league campaign; 1-0, away to local rivals Manchester City on 19
August.
2. Dropped just seven points this term; Arsenal have dropped just two.
3. Conceded just one goal in claiming 21 points out of 21, and shipped one
every 300 minutes (five hours) of Premier League football played, on
average.
4. Scored four goals in each of the last two league outings; that total of
eight is as many as accumulated in the previous 11.
5. On the longest current run in the Premier League of 13 matches since
conceding more than a single goal in a game; the most recent being the
2-4 away win over Everton on 28 April.
6. Also on the longest current run in the Premier League of 50 matches since
a defeat by more than a single goal; 3-0, away to Chelsea on 29 April 2006.
7. Their 10 league games have yielded the joint lowest number of goals;
just 18 (15 for, three against). Only Chelsea also provide equally the
least value for money in this regard.
8. One of seven clubs still holding an unbeaten home record in the Premier
League.
9. The only side with a watertight home defensive record in the Premier
League; yet to concede after five games at the Theatre of Dreams.
10. This match precedes next Saturday's top of the table showdown with
Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
