Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had now failed to score in eight of their last 11 games in the Premier League. The Canaries' total of ten points from their first 16 games was now one point fewer than they had at the same stage of their most recent season in the Premier League (2019-20). Following victory in charge of Aston Villa in September, Dean Smith could have become the first manager since Andy Aitken (Middlesbrough and Leicester Fosse) in 1908-09 in League Division One to beat Manchester United with different clubs in the same season in the top division.

Comments:

League position: 5th Manchester United had now kept a clean sheet in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2021. United remained the only team that had yet to score in the opening 15 minutes of a game in this Premier League season. David De Gea had now kept a clean sheet in 200 games in his career for club and country (Atletico Madrid 22, Manchester United 159 and Spain 19).
