Premier League LIVE: West Ham United v Chelsea build-up and seven other matches

  • Crystal Palace beat Manchester United twice in the Premier League last season. It was the first time they had beaten Manchester United in back-to-back league games.

  • Manchester United have lost two of their last three away league games against Crystal Palace (G1), while remaining unbeaten in their previous 13 such games against the Eagles at Selhurst Park (W9 D4).

  • Crystal Palace went undefeated in their first 20 Premier League meetings with Manchester United (4-0, 16) and have now won five of their last 10 games against Manchester United in the division (2-0, 3).

  • Manchester United have won just two of their last 16 Premier League away games against London teams (D4 V10), with both victories coming against Fulham (2-1 November 2022, 1-0 November 2023). The Red Devils have lost as many Premier League games in the capital since Alex Ferguson’s retirement (24 in 64 visits) as they have in 118 such games with the Scot at the helm.

  • Crystal Palace are still without a win in the Premier League this season (D2 V2), while they have won six of their last seven league games in 2023-24 (D1).

  • Manchester United have kept three clean sheets in their last five Premier League games, the same number as in their previous 24. However, they have lost both games in which they conceded goals in this run.

  • Manchester United have the third highest expected goals in the Premier League this season (7.9), but have scored just five goals. Only Southampton have underperformed the Red Devils in terms of xG so far this season (4.6 xG, 1 goal).

  • Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace beat Manchester United 4-0 in the Premier League last season. Only eight managers have ever won their first two games against the Red Devils in the competition, the most recent being Roberto De Zerbi with Brighton in September 2023.

  • Since Oliver Glasner’s first match in charge in February, only Erling Haaland (19) has scored more Premier League goals than Jean-Philippe Mateta (15 in 17 games). In that time, he has scored multiple goals on four occasions (3 doubles, 1 hat-trick) – only Wilfried Zaha has ever scored more than once in more different Premier League games for the Eagles (6 doubles).

  • Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has had more shots on target than any other player in the Premier League so far this season (13).
