Manchester United may still be nursing the hangover from Thursday night's crushing defeat to Chelsea, but fans can take some comfort in United being one of the least error-prone teams in the Premier League. 

In fact, when it comes to mistakes leading to goals and shots, their opponents at Stamford Bridge are one of the worst in the entire division. 

Opta have collated the stats for errors leading to shots and errors leading to goals and it makes for some interesting reading. 

Mauricio Pochettino's men sit at the joint-top of the standings for errors leading to shots, with a whopping 18 mistakes giving the opposition a sight on goal. 

It was a defensive mix-up last night at Stamford Bridge that saw Alejandro Garnacho steal in to get Erik ten Hag's side back into the game, and it's one of five goals this season that have come by way of an error.
