CHELSEA ON MAN UNITED
Thelast time Manchester United conceded fewer than 16 shots in a game was the FA Cup third round win over Wigan Athletic in the first game of 2024 - some 14 matches ago.
Youhave to rewind to the 1-0 away win over Nottingham Forest, five weeks and six fixtures back, to find the previous occasion they allowed fewer than 20 efforts on goal. Over the past five games, United have shipped an astonishing 134 shots and perhaps the miracle is that only 11 have gone in.
Thereare several reasons behind the leakage. An ever-changing backline amid this season’s spate of injuries has been a thorn in the side - Raphael Varane and then substitute Jonny Evans both went off injured against Chelsea with just two centre-backs now fully fit.
