Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.

Manchester United will be looking to avoid being leapfrogged in the top-flight standings by Crystal Palace as the two sides clash in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils are fresh from their continental victory over FCSB on Thursday, with Ruben Amorim's men are the only side across the Champions League and Europa League to go through the League Phase unbeaten.

Palace have been focusing on purely domestic matters this season, with their six-game unbeaten streak halted by Brentford in the Premier League last weekend.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Manchester United and Crystal Palace ahead of Sunday afternoon's Premier League battle.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 67
Crystal Palace wins: 12
Draws: 14
Man Utd wins: 41

Man United have, unsurprisingly, dominated this fixture throughout the years, leading the head-to-head record with 41 wins to Palace's 12, while there have also been 14 draws in their 67 fixtures in all competitions.

Two ex-Man United forwards are the joint-leading goalscorers in matches between the two sides, with Denis Law and Mark Hughes both registering six times against the London club.

Man United have also dominated the Premier League meetings, posting 19 wins to Palace's five, while there have also been seven draws in their 30 matches.

Palace managed to record their first-ever league double over the Red Devils during the 2023-24 campaign, though, winning 1-0 at Old Trafford and 4-0 at Selhurst Park.

However, their meeting in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign finished level; both teams had a host of chances to register, but it was the two goalkeepers, Dean Henderson and Andre Onana, who came out on top.

Henderson made a string of impressive saves against his former club at Selhurst Park, while Onana caught the eye with a double stop in the second period, as Man United recovered from their two losses to the Eagles in the league last term.

Palace have actually been victorious in three of their last six league games with Man United, suffering only one loss in the process, which came at Old Trafford in February 2023, demonstrating the recent struggles that the Red Devils have had in this particular fixture.

Man United's last league success at Selhurst Park came in July 2020, when they recorded a 2-0 victory, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial on the scoresheet.

The Red Devils won eight of their opening 11 away Premier League fixtures with Palace but are now winless in their last five, including a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park during the 2022-23 campaign.

Man United did manage to beat Palace during the 2023-24 campaign, though, recording a 3-0 success in the third round of the EFL Cup, just four days before suffering a 1-0 loss to the same opponents in the league.

The pair also locked horns in the FA Cup final back in May 2016, with the 20-time English champions recording a 2-1 victory after extra-time to secure the trophy at Wembley Stadium.

For a long time, Man United enjoyed a lot of success against Palace in the Premier League, but the recent meetings have favoured the Eagles, who will be aiming to secure a sixth Premier League success over the 20-time English champions when the two teams lock horns at Old Trafford in February 2025.
