Stats from the "Big Six" in Premier League so far this season

The Premier League will not return until April at the earliest, so here some of the best statistics of the big six so far this season.

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp’s side are top of the pile but do not look as defensively solid as they did in 2018/19. Liverpool have conceded 21 times in the league so far this term and that is just one goal fewer than their entire 38-game campaign. Roberto Firmino finally ended a drought for a goal at Anfield after the Brazilian scored against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League reverse fixture.

It was his first Liverpool home strike in 20 games in all competitions since firing against Porto in April 2019, 337 days earlier. Another surprising statistic is that, with the loss at home to the Rojiblancos, Liverpool have now lost the last four of their six matches in all competitions, as many defeats as in their previous 67 games. 

Manchester City

Manchester City have lost seven Premier League games this season, one more than they had in their last two previous seasons combined. Also, Kevin De Bruyne has become the first player to register 15 or more assists in three different Premier League seasons. Only Cesc Fabregas had previously done so in more than one campaign.

Chelsea

Chelsea have lost five Premier League home games already this season. Only in 1994-95, the Blues were beaten more times (seven) at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are also winless away from home in the league in 2020, drawing three and losing one of their four matches. The last time they endured such a run was in the 2015-16 season, failing to claim a victory over seven straight trips.

Frank Lampard has been reliant on a lot of academy players this season and the proof is here. Only Leicester City (31) and Southampton (24) have more goals from English players than Chelsea’s (21), the same for Manchester United.

Manchester United

United are unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions but their points tally of 45 is still their lowest after 29 games of a Premier League season. At 25 years and 86 days old, United have the youngest average starting XI in the Premier League this season. The Red Devil’s newly signed Bruno Fernandes has been involved in more Premier League goal contributions (two goals and three assists) since his debut than any other player.

Tottenham Hotspur

No side have kept fewer clean sheets in the Premier League than Jose Mourinho’s side. The last time they kept so few in their first 29 matches of a campaign was in 2006-07 which is also four. 

Arsenal

Arsenal have drawn 13 Premier League games this season, already their highest tally since 17 in the 1993-94 season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 17 goals have been worth 16 points to Arsenal this season. Only Sadio Mane’s 14 goals have been worth more (18 points) to a single club.
