Crystal Palace have lost their first home Premier League match in 12 of their 16 seasons in the competition (W1 D3), failing to score in eight of their last nine at Selhurst Park; their one goal was scored in a 1-0 win over Southampton in 2020-21.

Only Liverpool (38) and Arsenal (35) picked up more away Premier League points last season than Nottingham Forest (33), who won 10 of their 19 matches on the road (D3 L6). It was nine more points than Forest won away from home in 2022-23 and 2023-24 combined (24 points in 38 games).
