West Ham, Everton, Leicester, Crystal Palace and now Spurs have all now failed to come away from Old Trafford with any goals or points in 2017-18.
Mourinho's men can only hope this campaign ends in a similar fashion to 2007-08, when the Red Devils won the Premier League title by two points over Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho heaped praise on the "amazing" Marouane Fellaini for his determination and courage to play for Manchester United in Sunday's big match at Chelsea, despite not being fully fit. The midfielder had not featured for the Reds since the victory over Crystal Palace at the end of September, after picking up an injury while on international duty for Belgium.
