Crystal Palace vs. Man Utd: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 69

Draws: 14

Man United have, unsurprisingly, dominated this fixture throughout the years, leading the head-to-head record with 42 wins to Palace's 13, while there have also been 14 draws in their 69 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 20 wins to Palace's six, while there have also been seven draws in their 31 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 were triumphant in the reverse game at Old Trafford, though, winning 2-0 courtesy of a brace from Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Palace have actually been victorious in four of their last eight league games with Man United, suffering only two defeats in the process.

Man United's last league success at Selhurst Park came in November 2025, when they came from behind to record a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.

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.
