Kick-off: 3.00pm There was a minute’s silence before kick off as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the Munich air disaster sixty years earlier (6 February 1958). Manchester United had now won eight of the last ten league and cup meetings.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Romelu Lukaku had now scored in consecutive Premier League games at Old Trafford for the first time since 30 September 2017. This was David De Gea's 300th appearance for Manchester United (114 clean sheets). This was now the 15th clean sheet that the Red Devils had kept so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team.

Comments:

League position: 19th Huddersfield Town were now the 20th consecutive team to lose on their first Premier League visit to Old Trafford since Derby County's 3-2 win on 5 April 1997. The Terriers had now failed to score for the tenth time in away games in the Premier League so far in this season; more than any other team. Town were now without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League, including losing the last five, so dropping in to the bottom three for the first time in this season.
