LONDON — It is not so much a question of when Manchester United will lose again in the Premier League, as when it will even concede a goal.

Saturday it is Blackburn Rovers' turn to try to beat Edwin van der Sar, who registered his 14th consecutive shutout in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat of Fulham. To say the game was one-sided is like saying it gets a bit warm in Saudi Arabia during the summer.

It is 1,302 minutes — almost 22 hours — since Sami Nasri scored what proved to be the winner for Arsenal on Nov. 8, 3 1/2 months ago.
