Premier League records which could be broken this season: Man Utd on course for new away goals low
Premier League records for most wins, longest wait for a victory from the start, fewest points and everything in between could be broken this season.
Wins
Most wins in a season
Current record: 32
Currently held by: Manchester City (2017/18 and 2018/19) and Liverpool (2019/20)
Could be broken by: Technically still anyone from Manchester United up, just with gradually larger margins for error. But Manchester City would only need to win 24 of their remaining 26 Premier League games to get to 33 wins. Seems doable.
Fewest wins in a season
Current record: One
Currently held by: Derby (2007/08)
Could be equalled by: Luton Town, Sheffield United or Burnley. The poor sods.
Most home wins in a season
Current record: 18
Currently held by: Chelsea (2005/06), Manchester United (2010/11), Manchester City (2011/12 and 2018/19) and Liverpool (2019/20)
Could be broken by: Only Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa have been perfect at home thus far, which will be required to raise that bar any further.
Fewest home wins in a season
Current record: One
Currently held by: Sunderland (2005/06) and Derby (2007/08)
Could be broken by: Both Luton Town and Burnley are yet to win at home, which is particularly damning for promoted sides.

Most away wins in a season
Current record: 16
Currently held by: Manchester City (2017/18)
Could be broken by: Only Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United can reach 17, but it would involve winning every single away game from here.
Fewest away wins in a season
Current record: Zero
Currently held by: Leeds (1992/93, 21 matches), Coventry (1999/00), Wolves (2003/04), Norwich (2004/05), Derby (2007/08) and Hull (2009/10).
Could be equalled by: Bournemouth and Sheffield United; both Burnley and Luton have picked up their only wins on the road.
Most consecutive wins
Current record: 18
Currently held by: Manchester City (2017/18) and Liverpool (2019/20)
Could be broken by: Whoever puts a decent run together. Manchester United are currently the only team to be on back-to-back Premier League wins.
Draws
Most draws in a season
Current record: 18
Currently held by: Manchester City (1993/94), Sheffield United (1993/94) and Southampton (1994/95)
Newcastle (2003/04), Aston Villa (2006/07 and 2011/12) and Sunderland (2014/15) jointly hold the record of 17 draws in a 38-game season.
Could be broken by: In theory anybody, but Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford and Nottingham Forest each have four draws.
Fewest draws in a season
Current record: Two
Currently held by: Manchester City (2018/19), Spurs (2018/19) and Sheffield United (2020/21)
Could be broken by: Manchester United are in prime position with no draws so far; Manchester City, Aston Villa and Burnley each have one so can still technically break the record.
Defeats
Most defeats in a season
Current record: 29
Currently held by: Ipswich (1994/95, 42 matches), Sunderland (2005/06), Derby (2007/08) and Sheffield United (2020/21)
Could be broken by: Technically every club barring Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brighton, but Burnley are ‘best’ placed to beat the record with 10 defeats already, meaning they could get to 36.
Most home defeats in a season
Current record: 15
Currently held by: Watford (2021/22)
Could be broken by: Burnley have lost all six of their matches at Turf Moor, but Fulham, Crystal Palace, Everton, Sheffield United and Luton are not in the clear.
Most away defeats in a season
Current record: 17
Currently held by: Burnley (2009/10)
Could be broken by: Sheffield United and Bournemouth have only once avoided defeat on the road each. Lose the rest and they will have the record.
Points
Most points in a season
Current record: 100
Currently held by: Manchester City (2017/18)
Could be broken by: The top five can all pass the 100-point mark, leaving Manchester United very narrowly out of the equation as they can only get to 99.
Fewest points in a season
Current record: 11
Currently held by: Derby (2007/08)
Could be broken by: Anyone from Bournemouth down, but Burnley are looking particularly nervous about this one.
Most home points in a season
Current record: 55
Currently held by: Chelsea (2005/06), Manchester United (2010/11), Manchester City (2011/12) and Liverpool (2019/20)
Could be broken by: Needing close to impossible form means only Aston Villa, Liverpool and Manchester City fit the criteria of drawing a maximum of one home game while winning the rest.
Fewest home points in a season
Current record: Seven
Currently held by: Sunderland (2005/06)
Could be broken by: Chelsea are among seven teams still mathematically in the equation, but Burnley and their zero home points from five games look pretty precarious.
Most away points in a season
Current record: 50
Currently held by: Manchester City (2017/18)
Could be broken by: Manchester United can still do this, provided they win every away game from here. Best of luck to them. Arsenal and Chelsea are still in the mix too.
Fewest away points in a season
Current record: Three
Currently held by: Derby (2007/08)
Could be broken by: Bournemouth and Sheffield United are the only clubs under a low threshold.

Fewest points in a season for a club avoiding relegation
Current record: 34
Currently held by: West Brom (2004/05)
Could be broken by: It honestly does feel like a new bar could be set here.

Goals scored
Most goals in a season
Current record: 106
Currently held by: Manchester City (2017/18)
Could be broken by: Manchester City’s current rate of scoring 2.67 goals per game – the highest of any club – puts them on course for 101.
Fewest goals scored in a season
Current record: 20
Currently held by: Derby (2007/08) and Sheffield United (2020/21)
Could be broken by: Burnley’s current rate of scoring 0.75 goals per game – the lowest of any club – puts them on course for 28.
Most home goals scored in a season
Current record: 68
Currently held by: Chelsea (2009/10)
Could be broken by: Aston Villa’s current rate of scoring 3.83 goals per home game (the highest of any club) puts them on course for 73. Keep it up.
Fewest home goals scored in a season
Current record: Nine
Currently held by: Fulham (2020/21)
Could be broken by: Burnley’s current rate of scoring 0.67 goals per home game puts them on course for 13. They are among eight teams who could technically score eight goals or fewer at home, including Manchester United.
Most away goals scored in a season
Current record: 48
Currently held by: Liverpool (2013/14)
Could be broken by: Manchester City’s current rate of scoring 2.29 goals per away game puts them on course for 44.
Fewest away goals scored in a season
Current record: Seven
Currently held by: Norwich (2019/20)
Could be broken by: Newcastle beat that tally in one away game, while several other sides – not including Manchester United – are also in the clear. Sheffield United’s current rate of scoring 0.67 goals per away game puts them on course for 13.
Goals conceded
Most goals conceded in a season
Current record: 100
Currently held by: Swindon (1993/94)
Derby (2007/08) hold the record of 89 goals conceded in a 38-game season
Could be broken by: Strong start by Sheffield United, whose current rate of conceding would see them ship 98 goals. But the Newcastle mauling was surely a freak result.
Fewest goals conceded in a season
Current record: 15
Currently held by: Chelsea (2004/05)
Could be broken by: Arsenal and Liverpool have the best defensive record so far, but even they can only concede five more goals in 26 games just to equal the record. That Chelsea team was daft.
Most home goals conceded in a season
Current record: 46
Currently held by: Watford (2021/22)
Could be broken by: Burnley are on course to concede 57 at Turf Moor. Tough place to go.
Fewest home goals conceded in a season
Current record: Four
Currently held by: Manchester United (1994/95)
Could be broken by: Only three teams could still theoretically do it, with Liverpool (two goals conceded in six home games) the closest.
Most away goals conceded in a season
Current record: 59
Currently held by: Ipswich (1994/95)
Wigan hold the record of 55 away goals conceded in a 38-game season.
Could be broken by: Bournemouth are conceding 65 goals on the road if their current rates persist.
Fewest away goals conceded in a season
Current record: Nine
Currently held by: Chelsea (2004/05)
Could be broken by: Arsenal have only conceded three goals in five away games so history awaits.

Manchester City have their eyes on this one; Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal have other ideas.
