Crystal Palace vs Manchester United | Premier League Preview & Betting Tips | 30 Nov 2025
Crystal Palace are flying at the moment and have become the Premier League’s ultimate giant-killers – they’ve already beaten Chelsea and held Liverpool and Arsenal tight at home this season. Manchester United arrive in superb form themselves, but Palace have won the last three meetings between these two, including two at Old Trafford. Selhurst will be absolutely bouncing – loud, hostile and with a huge away following from Manchester.
Palace line up in a flexible 3-4-2-1 that can switch to 5-4-1 without the ball. United stick with a high-pressing 4-2-3-1 that looks to dominate possession.
Palace are rock-solid at the back – only conceding 0.90 per game and keeping four clean sheets in ten. They’re happy to sit deep and hit on the break. United create far more (1.90 xG) and are lethal on the counter themselves, but they’ve looked vulnerable away to organised sides. Set pieces could be massive – both teams score and concede regularly from dead balls.
Palace over the last ten: five wins, four draws, one defeat – 14 scored, 9 conceded, four clean sheets. Absolutely flying and almost impossible to beat at Selhurst.
United: seven wins, two draws, one defeat – 21 scored, 7 conceded, five clean sheets. Back to their ruthless best.
Palace at home (last 10): 70% win rate, averaging 1.8 scored and 0.7 conceded – Selhurst has become a nightmare for the big sides.
United away (last 10): 60% win rate, averaging 2.0 scored and 1.0 conceded – strong, but they’ve dropped points in tricky grounds.
Goals Against (per game)
United create far more quality, but Palace are masters at frustrating big teams and hitting on the break.
Palace have dominated recent meetings: 1-0 at Old Trafford last May, 1-0 at Selhurst in December 2024, and a stunning 3-0 at Old Trafford in September 2024. The other two games were a 2-2 draw at Selhurst and a 1-0 United win in 2023. Palace are unbeaten in the last four against United.
United are in great nick, but Palace at Selhurst right now are a different beast – organised, aggressive and with a crowd that terrifies visiting sides. Recent history and home form point one way.
