EPL Table Week 19: 2015 Barclays Premier League Results & Highlights

If the Red Devils lose to Chelsea on Monday at Old Trafford, which increasingly looks likely given United’s pathetic run of form and serious loss of confidence among the squad, United are on the verge of an unwanted record which will see them lose five competitive games in a row for the first time in their long and glittering history since 1936, nearly 79 years!

The results leave Leicester top on 38 points, two more than Arsenal and just three clear of Manchester City, who routed Sunderland 4-1.
The National’s Sport cover for the Sunday, December 27 issue, featuring Stoke City as they delivered a Boxing Day humbling to Manchester United.
Wilfried Bony shone while Sergio Aguero sat in reserve; Raheem Sterling’s pace and energy troubled the Black Cats’ back line throughout; Yaya Toure looked at his bullish best; and Kevin de Bruyne once again proved the difference, scoring once and registering two assists.
