Premier League LIVE: Preparation for West Ham United vs Chelsea and seven other games

  • Crystal Palace beat Manchester United twice in the last Premier League season, making it the first time they have beaten them in two consecutive league games.

  • Manchester United have lost two of their last three away league games against Crystal Palace (1 draw). The Eagles' previous 13 away games at Selhurst Park were unbeaten (9 wins, 4 draws).

  • Crystal Palace have not won any of their first 20 Premier League games against Manchester United (4 draws, 16 losses). Now the team has won five of their last 10 league games against Manchester United (2 draws, 3 losses).

  • Manchester United have won just two of their last 16 Premier League away games against London teams (4 draws, 10 defeats), both victories coming against Fulham (2-1 November 2022, 1-0 November 2023). The Red Devils have lost as many Premier League games in the capital since Alex Ferguson's retirement (24 in 64 visits) as they have in 118 games under the Scotsman's management.

  • Crystal Palace are winless in the Premier League this season (2 draws, 2 losses), having won six of their last seven league games in the 2023/24 season (1 draw).

  • Manchester United have kept three clean sheets in their last five Premier League matches, as many as they had in their previous 24. However, they have lost both of the games in which they have conceded a goal during this run.

  • Manchester United have the third-highest total expected goals in the Premier League this season (7.9), but have only scored five goals – only Southampton have underperformed their xG performance (4.6 xG, 1 goal) more than the Red Devils so far this season.

  • Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace beat Manchester United 4-0 in the Premier League last season – only eight managers have ever won their first two games against the Red Devils in the competition, most recently Roberto De Zerbi with Brighton in September 2023.

  • Since Oliver Glasner's first game as manager in February, only Erling Haaland (19) has scored more Premier League goals than Jean-Philippe Mateta (15 in 17 games). In that time he has scored multiple goals four times (3 braces, 1 hat-trick) – only Wilfried Zaha has ever scored more than once in more different Premier League games for the Eagles (6 braces).

  • Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has had more shots on goal without scoring (13) than any other player in the Premier League this season.
