One more Huddersfield fact for you ahead of this Saturday's game.
Charlton and Huddersfield have played each other 93 times. Both have 37 wins with 19 draws.
The only time Huddersfield have been leading the rivalry (more wins than Charlton) was between the first ever meeting and the second meeting. Huddersfield won the first game, Charlton won the second. Since then Charlton have always had either the same or more wins than Huddersfield.
If Huddersfield win on Saturday they will have more wins than Charlton for the first time since 1936.
Walsall are top of League 2 having won just 2 of their last 15 matches. Despite winning 18 of their opening 25 matches and trading at 1/5 at that point to become champions, there is a chance that they won't even be promoted.
is this league games, premier league games or all games ?
Premier league.
With Sir Alex - 810 games, 114 defeats. Since Sir Alex - 450 games, 115 defeats.
TBH, the biggest surprise there is that they lost 114 games under SAF. They never lost nearly enough for my liking.
He was there for 21 years (in the PL), so on average that's less than 6 defeats per season.
Yeah, I'm not sniffing at it, I just thought it would be less. Maybe that's something to do with how ridiculously skewed the Prem has become in recent years. Only once in the last ten years has the winning team lost as many as six matches. And on many occasions the second and even third placed team haven't lost that many.

Spare a thought for Liverpool (i know no one will), they lost a total of three games in two seasons - 18-19 (1 game) and 21-22 (2 games) - and had 0 titles to show for it.

Whereas this season they've lost 2 and are 13 points clear. They could afford to lose 6.

Tomorrow will be the second time we play Mansfield away in the league in our history. Exactly 47 years to the day since the first time.
Both games will have been played on April 1st.
Its the first time that's happened since 04/05 (Southampton) - 05/06 (Sunderland) - 06/07 (Sheff Utd)
A thesis will be written on this one day.
Their win today put them out ahead of Barcelona who have four wins

Bayern under Pep (shock) have the world record.
