Manchester United vs Crystal Palace

Manchester United have now lost seven of their first 13 league home matches this season, their joint-most at this stage of a league campaign, along with 1893-94 (also seven home defeats in 13).

Manchester United have failed to score in the first half of 18 different Premier League matches this season, the most of any team in the competition.

After failing to win on any of their first 10 visits to Old Trafford in the Premier League, a run that included nine straight defeats (D1), Crystal Palace have now won four of their last six away matches against Manchester United (L2) and have won on back-to-back visits to Old Trafford for only the second time in the competition.

Manchester United have failed to score in any of their last three Premier League games against Crystal Palace – they last went four league games without a goal against an opponent between 1981 and 1983 (vs Arsenal).

Crystal Palace have won five of their last 11 Premier League games against Man Utd (D3 L3), having been winless in 22 league games against them before this (D4 L18).
