League position: 7th Manchester United had now conceded one goal in each of eight of their 17 games so far in this Premier League season (none in four of the other nine). The Red Devils remained as the only team that had yet to score in the opening 15 minutes of a game in this season in the Premier League. United had now taken 28 points from their 17 games so far in this Premier League season; 12 points fewer than at the same stage of the previous season when they were top of the table.
