Friday night games are rare, with this fixture moved for television purposes. There are fewer Sunday slots for the Premier League due to the Carabao Cup Final taking place this weekend.
United’s full record in the Premier League era on a Friday night is 64.7 per cent, with 11 wins from 18 games. This is above the club’s overall win rate of 59.4 per cent.
United’s two defeats in the 18 Friday games have both come in away matches. We are on the road against Bournemouth tonight.
- Overall Record: 11 Wins, 5 Draws, 2 Losses.
- United have never lost a Premier League game played on a Friday at Old Trafford.
- Both of United’s Friday losses (1993 and 2018) occurred away from home.
It is worth noting that several of the Friday fixtures have fallen on Boxing Day when the calendar coincides, including the victory over Newcastle earlier this season.
