Crystal Palace form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Crystal Palace at their home stadium (Selhurst Park) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Palace, who played 0-0 against Fulham. That match was also played at this venue (Selhurst Park). In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Brighton & Hove Albion.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Palace as they are travelling to their away game against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

The Palace fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.

Manchester United form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (53) in Premier League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 5 draws and only 0 losses in the Premier League. One point away has become something of a habit for Manchester United who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Manchester United are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Chelsea (placed 5th). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.

David De Gea had red hot gloves after the game against Chelsea, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Manchester manager O. Solskjær as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Manchester City.

The travelling fans enjoy Manchester's attacking play in away games, having scored 25 goals in 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Manchester United have conceded 13 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Manchester United - Palace 1-3, played this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Palace, one draw and seven wins for Manchester United. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
