10 Premier League Stats You May Have Missed: United's Misery, City's Perfect Start and Haaland's Ruthless Record

The Premier League rarely does things quietly, but the latest round of fixtures has produced some particularly outrageous numbers. Manchester City are rewriting the record books, Manchester United are making history they'd rather forget, and Brighton seemingly cannot stop scoring.

Here are 10 stats you might have missed.

1. Maresca makes Premier League history

Enzo Maresca has become the first manager in Premier League history to win his opening seven league matches at a club. His perfect start at Manchester City eclipses the six-game winning streaks achieved by Pep Guardiola, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Carlo Ancelotti.

2. Manchester United's worst-ever start

Manchester United are enduring their worst start to a Premier League campaign, having gone six consecutive matches without victory across all competitions.

3. Carrick’s form got worse than Amorim’s

Michael Carrick's last six results read three defeats and three draws. Remarkably, Ruben Amorim's final six matches produced two wins, three draws and just one defeat before his dismissal.

4. United creating chances but not goals

Manchester United lead the Premier League with 91 chances created, ahead of Nottingham Forest's 77. However, their miserable 7% shot conversion rate ranks third-worst in the division.

5. Brighton's incredible scoring spree

Brighton have demolished their opponents 15-0 across their last four Premier League matches, including a 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace and a 3-0 victory over Arsenal.

6. Haaland hits 120

Erling Haaland has reached 120 Premier League goals since arriving in 2022. Mohamed Salah is his nearest challenger over that period with 73, a staggering 47-goal difference.

7. Arsenal's set-piece drought

After dominating opponents from dead-ball situations last season, Arsenal have remarkably failed to score a single set-piece goal this campaign.

8. Liverpool's away-day revival

Liverpool have won three consecutive Premier League away matches for the first time in two years. The last time they enjoyed such a run, they went on to lift the title.

9. Maddison's long-range magic

Since August 2018, James Maddison has scored 21 Premier League goals from outside the box, more than anyone else. Kevin De Bruyne and James Ward-Prowse follow with 19 apiece.

10. Haaland destroys promoted sides

Haaland has scored 22 goals in 22 appearances against promoted opposition. His average of 79 minutes per goal trails only Alexander Isak (69) and Thierry Henry (74).

Honourable mention: Vardy's extraordinary longevity

Jamie Vardy has now scored in 20 consecutive seasons of English football, becoming only the third player in history to achieve the remarkable milestone. At 39, the veteran striker is still finding the net.
