Stat attack

  • Manchester United have never lost a Premier League game against Crystal Palace in 16 previous meetings (W13 D3 L0). The only team they’ve faced as often without losing are Charlton Athletic (W14 D2 L0).
  • Crystal Palace’s last league victory over Manchester United came in May 1991 at Selhurst Park – Ian Wright scoring one and John Salako netting a brace in a 3-0 win.
  • However, their most recent victory over Manchester United came in the League Cup in November 2011 –Darren Ambrose and Glenn Murray scoring in a 2-1 win in the quarter-final.
  •  Manchester United have won 10 consecutive home top-flight matches against Crystal Palace, conceding just two goals in that time – both in the same game, a 5-2 win in December 2004.
  • Eight of Manchester United’s 17 Premier League goals so far this season have arrived in the final 10 minutes of matches (47.1%) – as it stands, this is the highest proportion by any team in any single Premier League season.
  • Crystal Palace are the first side in England’s top four tiers to lose their first six games of the season without scoring.
  • The Eagles are the only team in Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues yet to score a goal in league competition this season.
  • Only two teams in English football league history within the top four tiers have previously failed to score in their opening six league games of a season – Burnley in 1997-98 (third tier) and Halifax Town in 1990-91 (fourth tier). Halifax hold the all-time record, as they failed to score in their opening eight league games in 1990-91.
  • Romelu Lukaku has scored six goals in his first six Premier League appearances for Manchester United – the record tally of goals by a Man Utd player in their opening seven PL games for the club is held by Andrew Cole (seven goals).
  • Romelu Lukaku has scored 19 goals in his last 21 Premier League appearances – in comparison, Crystal Palace have scored 18 goals in their last 21 Premier League matches.
  • Juan Mata’s next Premier League appearance will be his 200th in the competition. Just six Spanish players have previously reached this landmark in the Premier League – David de Gea, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Pepe Reina, Mikel Arteta & Fernando Torres.
