Palace Did The League Double Over United Last Season
The Eagles haven’t started the 2024/25 season in the same form they ended the last campaign, but having won both league matches against United last term will head into the game confident of getting something.
Oliver Glasner’s side thumped the Red Devils 4-0 in this repeat clash thanks to goals from the now departed Olise (2), Mateta and Mitchell (watch below).
Prior to that win, Palace also grabbed a rare 1-0 victory at Old Trafford when the sides met in September 2023 – with Anderson getting the only goal of the match.

Three of the last four clashes have produced 3+ total goals, including – as mentioned – a 4-0 win for the Eagles in this repeat match-up last season.

BTTS (no) Has Paid Out In 5 Of The Last 7 Palace vs Man Utd Meetings
That said, despite three of the last four head-to-heads seeing Over 2.5 Goals scored, it’s also worth pointing out that the last three clashes saw only ONE of the teams getting the goals.
This run extends further back too, with five of the last seven league meetings also seeing both teams NOT scoring.
While if we just ringfence the head-to-heads at Selhurst Park – again, this also throws up four of the last five with just one side finding the back of the net.

The Red Devils fired in seven goals against Barnsley in the League Cup in midweek and three before that against Southampton.
However, the slightly worrying stat ahead of their meeting with Palace is United have been on a bit of a dry spell in front of goal.
This is backed up with Man Utd having scored just one goal vs Palace in their last four visits to Selhurst.
With Bruno Fernandes the only United player to score at the South London ground since 2020.
