David Moyes will be eager to get United back on track after a disappointment at Anfield during their last outing
Manchester United takes new Premier League boys on Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday. These are early days of course, but Moyes era has begun with mixed bag of results so far. United have failed to score in two consecutive league matches for the first time in five years and will be keen to bounce back against Ian Holloway’s Crystal Palace side who are buoyed by their maiden victory against Sunderland in their last outing.
New summer recruit Marouane Fellaini is in-line for his debut, while Wayne Rooney is not expected to feature in this game.
Let’s have a look at what stats have to offer for Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
- Four points from a possible nine is Manchester United’s lowest points tally after three games since 2008-09.
- Manchester United are unbeaten at Old Trafford in the league against newly-promoted sides since their 2-3 defeat against Middlesbrough in December 1998
- Manchester United are undefeated in 26 of their last 29 home matches in the Premier League.
- A positive for David Moyes, though, is that he has matched Sir Alex Ferguson’s record of one win, one draw and one defeat from his opening three league matches.
- Crystal Palace have never beaten Manchester United in eight Premier League meetings, losing six and drawing twice.
- The Eagles have taken the lead in each of the last two fixtures (they also led against Stoke before losing the match 2-1).
- Danny Gabbidon scored his first Premier League goal against Sunderland the week before. He has now scored in all four English league divisions.
