Palace have had the rub over United in their last five Premier League meetings. They beat United 3-1 at Old Trafford in 2020, then drew 0-0 t home in the return fixture for a 4-1 points "win" over United in that season. The following season both teams won 1-0 a home, and this season Palace earned a 1-1 draw at home thanks to a 91st minute equaliser Olise to snatch a point from United.

The two teams have met 49 times in the past, sharing 100 points between them… although not divided up equally. United have won 30 of those matches, while Palace have won just nine. They have drawn 10 times.

Palace's form is somewhat patchy, having lost three of their last five matches. However, their last two matches (both in the league) were draws against high-flying United (1-1) and Newcastle (0-0).

United have won their last three matches, which have all been Cup fixtures. Prior to that they lost 3-2 away to Arsenal. The match before they drew 1-1 away to Palace. They won their previous three league matches in a row.

United are fourth on the log with 39 points from their 20 matches, behind Newcastle only on goal difference. Palace are fairly comfortable on 24 points from their 20 matches - they have a seven point gap over 18th-placed Bournemouth.
