There were no goals in either of the two matches played between the clubs in the top flight this season – and precious little excitement.
Chelsea and Manchester United shared the points in a 0-0 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday – the second time they have done so this season.
As a consequence, it is the first time in 99 years since the two clubs have played out two scoreless draws in a league season.
Neither match was an exhilarating affair, and on Sunday both teams appeared intent on cancelling each other out in an encounter in which the chief talking point was a non-award of a penalty for the Red Devils.
