Did you know?

No team have won their final match of a Premier League season more often than Manchester United (20, level with Arsenal), while the Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 11 when ending the season away from home (W8 D3 since a 3-1 loss at Spurs in 2000/01).

Crystal Palace have never lost when playing their final match of a top-flight season at home, winning six and drawing three of their nine matches dating back to 1969/70.

Man Utd’s Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 18 Premier League goals this season, only netting more in a single campaign in 2007/08 (31). However, only four have come away from home. Of all players to have scored 100+ goals in Premier League history, Ronaldo has netted the highest percentage in home matches (70 per cent, with 71 out of 102).

Palace have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four Premier League home matches. Only once have they recorded five consecutively in the top flight, doing so in April 1992 under Steve Coppell.
