On Thursday night, Sheffield United and Manchester United will attempt to end a remarkable Premier League streak.

Incredibly, no side in the competition have recorded an away win over the last 27 matches, since Tottenham Hotspur won 4-0 at Aston Villa on 10 March.

That is the only victory on the road in the last 33 Premier League matches.

Sheff Utd face a tough challenge to do so as they travel to title-chasing Liverpool, with the match kicking off at 19:30 BST.

Man Utd could end this trend though, as they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (20:15 BST), who have not beaten the Red Devils in their last 12 meetings.

Against the season trend

The current run is all the more surprising given away wins have actually been on the rise this season.

There have been 94 victories on the road so far this campaign out of 301 matches, equating to 31.2 per cent of all results. This is up from 28.7 per cent in 2022/23.

Away wins have generally been on the rise since the 2011/12 campaign.

Between 2002/03 and 2010/11, on average, away wins accounted for 26.6 per cent of all results. But over the last 13 seasons, including the current one, that has climbed to 31.3 per cent.
