Manchester United have won 11 and lost none of the last 13 league meetings with Crystal Palace.
United have kept clean sheets against Palace at Selhurst Park in each of their last four visits in all competitions.
Man Utd have failed to score in their last two away games. They have only failed to score in three in a row once before in Premier League history (April 2005).
Manchester United have lost just two of their last 22 Premier League away games in London (W12 D8 L2) and those came against Chelsea.

Six of Crystal Palace's last eight Premier League goals have been scored (3) or assisted by (3) Glenn Murray.
There have only been six occasions of a player attempting as many as 16 dribbles in a single PL game this season and four of them have been by Wilfried Zaha. One of these came in their last game against Chelsea (16 attempted).
The Eagles have won a league-high 18 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season.
Prediction
With United losing at home to West Brom this has now become an important game for Louis van Gaal’s side in their bid to gain qualification for the Champions League. My ratings suggest value both in the goal and match line. When hosting the elite sides only 1 of Crystal Palaces last 10 home games have seen 1 or less goals. So their looks decent risk v reward backing over 2.0/2.5 goals. For my trade I am going to look to the home side on the handicap. United have now lost their last 3 League away games on the bounce and they have only won 1 of their last 10 away to teams of Palaces grading and indeed United have only won 1 of their last 16 away games by 2 or more goals. So my recommended trade for this match is Crystal Palace +0.5/1.0 at around 1.80.
