Man Utd's home field performance is the worst in the Premier League

Man Utd have the second-most minutes of being behind at home in the Premier League this season, while Man City have never experienced this.

Fans at Old Trafford had to witness Man Utd trailing for 354 minutes in six games here, through the first 11 rounds of the season. On average, Man Utd trailed for 59 minutes in each home game in the Premier League.

Only bottom-placed Burnley are worse off than United in this respect, with Vincent Kompany's side trailing for an average of 72 minutes per game at Turf Moor. The other three teams in the top five in this dismal statistic are Bournemouth, Luton and Sheffield, all of whom are relegation candidates.

Man City are the only team yet to be behind at home in the Premier League this season. Newcastle are second best in this stat, having trailed for just four minutes in their six games at St James' Park. Liverpool are third best, having trailed for a total of 25 minutes in their five games at Anfield.

When it comes to lead time over away teams, Man Utd are fifth from bottom with a total of just 53 minutes over six games. On average, Erik ten Hag's men have led their opponents for just nine minutes per game. This contrasts with Man City, who have led their visitors by an average of 78 minutes per game.

In terms of home record, Man Utd are 10th out of 20 teams, with three wins and three losses, taking nine points. This is thanks to comebacks against Brentford (3-1) and Nottingham Forest (3-2). The team with the best home record is Aston Villa, with five wins and a goal difference of +16. The other two teams that are also winning at home are Man City and Liverpool. Arsenal (4 wins, 2 draws) and Nottingham Forest (2 wins, 3 draws) are also unbeaten at the Emirates and City Ground.

This season, Man Utd have lost nine of their 17 games in all competitions, their worst record in 50 years. The "Red Devils" are currently eighth in the Premier League with 18 points from 11 games, nine points behind leaders Man City. In the Champions League, Man Utd are bottom of Group A with one win and three losses, but are only one point behind the two teams above them, Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

After hosting Luton today, Man Utd enter the two-week break for the November FIFA Days. They then play three consecutive away games against Everton, Galatasaray and Newcastle.
