Man Utd’s shocking record against top six: They have won just once all season

Manchester United go into their match against Chelsea on Sunday with an unenviable record to their name.

Across both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's periods in charge this campaign, they have found it difficult when taking on other teams from Premier League's top six.

In fact, United have only managed to win one game against the rest of the big sides in the Premier League all campaign.

That came against Spurs on their visit to Wembley, when Solskjaer was in the honeymoon period of his initial caretaker stint in charge.

Aside from that match, they have lost five of their clashes with other big six teams and drawn three.

That leaves them bottom of a mini-table involving the rest of the top six teams. And because of their poor goal difference, the only way they can finish above bottom place is by beating Chelsea on Sunday.

A result there would take them above Tottenham, who are only a point and a place above United in the top six mini-table.

Spurs have managed just two wins all season against the other big six teams and have lost seven games.

The most surprising team are probably Arsenal, who have traditionally struggled when taking on the biggest teams in England.

They have managed three wins in top six clashes this season and three draws, although they could be overhauled by Chelsea in the table if they win on Sunday.

Chelsea are fourth with 11 points against other teams in the top six, having won three, drawn two and lost four.

Manchester City and Liverpool are unsurprisingly at the top of the pile, although each team seems to have a slightly different outlook on the top games.

City have blitzed their way through the opposition, picking up eight wins, a draw and just one defeat — which came at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have won five of the games and drawn four, also losing a solitary top six clash.

That marked outlook on whether to win or draw a game could be the difference between the two teams come the end of the campaign when it comes to the title being decided.
