sportingintelligence832.substack.com
By Brian Sears 1 February 2013 Premier League draws are happening at record rates - and the midweek spate of six draws in 10 games has only cemented that pattern. In the 8,086 Premier League games played since the era of the revamped top division began in 1992, there have been 2,182 draws, or 27 per cent. This season there have been 75 draws from 240 games, or 31.25 per cent. The level dipped in December with just 11 draws in 59 games; but this month is back above 40 per cent of matches: 17 of 42. The monthly draw rates, the club by club draws this season and the historic Premier League draw rates of this weekend's matches are in the first graphic below. Note Stoke are the draw masters this season (12 this season) while Manchester United have fewest draws: two. Using historic Premier League meetings, the likeliest draw this weekend is Manchester City versus Liverpool.
