Manchester United won this exact fixture 2-1 in February last season but haven't managed to win consecutive league games against Crystal Palace since March 2018 (a run of five).
Having won 16 of their first 20 Premier League games against Crystal Palace (80%), Manchester United have won just three of their last eight against the Eagles (37.5%).
Manchester United suffered a defeat in their last home Premier League game, losing 3-1 against Brighton. The Red Devils haven’t lost consecutive home games since losing to Liverpool and Manchester City in October and November 2021, their last two home league games under Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
Crystal Palace have had just 13 shots in their last two Premier League games (six vs Aston Villa, seven vs Fulham), after having had at least 10 shots in 13 of their previous 14 league games since Roy Hodgson returned in April. Their average across those 14 games was 15.6 shots per game, compared to 6.5 in their last two.
Manchester United have conceded five goals in their last two home Premier League matches (two vs Nottingham Forest, three vs Brighton), only one fewer than in their previous 17 such home games combined (6). The Red Devils have only conceded 2+ goals in three home games in a row twice before in the competition, doing so in runs ending in March 2014 and December 2021.
Crystal Palace are one of two teams, along with Luton, yet to score in the first half of a Premier League game this season, attempting 35 shots without success. In 2023 overall, the Eagles have only scored six times in the first half in 28 league games, with half of those coming against West Ham in April (3-2 at HT).
Manchester United rank 12th for possession in the Premier League this season (48%), with this season the only one that Opta has on record since 2003-04 in which they are averaging less than 50%. With exactly 400 successful passes per game, this is their lowest such average since 2007-08 (369 per game).
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is unbeaten in his last four trips to Old Trafford in the Premier League (W2 D2) having lost each of his first seven visits beforehand. No manager has gone unbeaten in five consecutive away Premier League games against Man Utd previously.
In their 0-0 draw with Fulham, Eberechi Eze had three shots and created three chances for Crystal Palace, meaning he was involved in 86% of their efforts at goal in the game (6/7). Eze has the most shots and chances created combined (42) in the Premier League this season (26 shots, 16 chances created).
Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes registered his 80th Premier League goal involvement when scoring the winner against Burnley (46 goals, 34 assists), the fourth-most of any player since his debut. It was the 25th time he’d either scored (16) or assisted (9) a winning goal, behind only Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane (31 each) since February 2020.
