Match Summary
| Crystal Palace enter this clash hoping for a first home win over Manchester United since May 1991, but they do so on the back of five straight defeats, across which they conceded an average of 2.60 goals per match. Palace have also lost 66.67% of their Premier League (PL) home matches entered as outsiders this term (W0, D3, L6). |
| In a sequence spanning back to Nov 23, ten (W4, D2, L4) of Crystal Palace’s last 11 PL home games have produced a margin of under 1.5 goals separating the sides. The two ‘post-restart’ losses therein matched this trait, with the deciding goal consistently coming inside the 61st-75th minute period. |
| Though bereft of hostile Palace fans to get a kick out of, Manchester United will be boosted by a great top-flight record at Selhurst Park (W11, D5, L3). An 80% majority (HT: W3, L1) of their last five such visits have resulted in victory after a first half won/lost 1-0. |
| The visitors have taken full points (and averaged a winning margin of 2.17 goals) from the last six PL away games to see them score first. In relation to that, Man United are unbeaten in five PL away games (W3, D2), with a majority (six) of the ten individual halves therein producing exactly one goal either way. |
| Players to watch: Jordan Ayew has scored in two of Palace’s three PL home games won/drawn in 2020, gaining the ‘Eagles’ a net average of 1.5 points across that duo. |
| Man United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has seen his last three PL away goals come during 3-0 wins, two of which arrived in the 16th-30th minute period. |
| Stat attack: Palace’s record from home H2Hs in prior top-flight seasons containing a win at Old Trafford is: D1, L1. |
| Palace have lost the second half 1-0 in three of their last four home defeats. |
| Man United have won just 28.57% of their away league matches entered as favourites this term (W4, D5, L5). |
