promoted teams than any other Premier League side (55). - Huddersfield have kept four clean sheets in their opening six Premier League games of the season – the only previous newly-promoted side to do this were Blackburn Rovers in 1992-93 with Rovers going on to keep a fifth in their seventh match of that season.
