- Crystal Palace Wins: 5
- Draws: 3
- Manchester United Wins: 3
Notably, Crystal Palace has not lost to Manchester United in their last four Premier League encounters, securing three wins and one draw. This includes a dominant 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park in May 2024 and a 2-0 away win at Old Trafford in February 2025. Their ability to consistently trouble a traditionally stronger United side, especially at home, is a key factor.
Our Prediction
Considering Crystal Palace’s impressive start to the season, their defensive resilience, and their remarkably strong head-to-head record against Manchester United, particularly at home, the Eagles are well-positioned for a positive result. Manchester United’s struggles for form and consistency, coupled with their recent poor performances against Palace, make them vulnerable. The value here lies with the home side.
