    Premier League 2007/08 in numbers

    0 - League games in which Man United and Arsenal conceded more than two goals. Plus, games lost by Chelsea when Ricardo Carvalho was on the pitch.

    1 - Win managed this season by Derby. Shame on you Newcastle. Plus; Fulham win achieved without Brian McBride (he was out for almost six months).

    23 - Clean sheets cobbled together by relegated clubs Derby and Birmingham. Plus, games in which Man United failed to score (v Reading, Man City and Bolton).

    4 - Premier League goals scored by Derby's top scorer Kenny Miller.

    5 - Points dropped at Old Trafford by Manchester United - in the opening-day draw with Reading and the derby defeat to Manchester City. Plus, games won by Liverpool in which Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard failed to score.

    6 - Wins for Fulham under Roy Hodgson in 18 league games in charge - a win rate roughly equal to Alan Curbishley's at West Ham over the whole season.

    7 - Points picked up by Manchester City against Big Four sides, including a double over Man United. Plus, goals conceded in the final five minutes of games by Chelsea.

    8 - Premier League clubs who have changed their manager this season. Plus, English players who made it to double scoring figures (that figure was six last season).

    9 - Points picked up by West Ham in their last 12 games of the season. Only Derby ended the season in worse form. Plus, number of games won 1-0 by Chelsea.

    10 - Points picked up by Newcastle against top-half opposition. Plus, number of league titles now won by Ryan Giggs.

    11 - Yellow cards picked up by PL bad boys Nicky Butt, El Hadji Diouf and Michael Brown.

    12 - Goals in as many games for Ronaldo in the Premier League season run-in.

    13 - Goals scored by Tottenham substitutes - more than any other side.

    15 - Tottenham games featuring four or more goals. Plus, number of scoring Arsenal players in the Premier League.

    18 - Players who have started Premier League games for Aston Villa.

    19 - Goal assists attributed to Cesc Fabregas by the Premier League website.

    20 - Players given Premier League winner's medals this season - including Gerard Pique and Tomasz Kuszczak, who received special dispensation.

    21 - Points gained by Arsenal from losing positions.

    22 - Percentage of Everton's goals that came from their defenders.

    24 - League goals scored by Fernando Torres in his first season of English football, beating the 'foreign newcomer' record set by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

    27 - Goals scored in the final 15 minutes of games by Arsenal.

    31 - League goals scored by Ronaldo this season. He joins Alan Shearer, Kevin Phillips and Thierry Henry in the 30-plus club.

    33 - Points dropped from winning positions by Tottenham.

    38 - Number of goals scored at Fratton Park (Portsmouth) and the JJB Stadium (Wigan) this season - the lowest total in the Premier League.

    41 - Goals scored by Englishmen for Aston Villa.

    57 - League goals scored by Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo this season from a Man United total of 80. That's more goals than fifth-placed Everton.

    71 - Goals scored by Aston Villa, making them more potent than either Liverpool or Chelsea.

    80 - Number of goals scored at White Hart Lane this season in the league.
