If Manchester United are to snatch the title away from their local rivals on Sunday then they are first going to have to overcome Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Castrol EDGE performance data suggests that United might not find it such a difficult task if they use their heads.
Sunderland have conceded 12 headed goals in the 2011/12 Premier League, which makes up a league high 27% of the total goals they have conceded this season. Fortunately for Manchester United, they are one of the biggest aerial threats in the league. They have scored more headed goals this season than any other Premiership team apart from Norwich, who equal their tally of 15.
