Crystal Palace are in 14th place with 43 points after 36 games as the Eagles are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches as they won 4 of them.
Manchester Untied are in 8th place with 54 points after 35 matches – the same points as Chelsea but the Blues are with a better goal difference and 2 points behind 6th Newcastle as the Red Devils won only 1 of their last 5 Premier League fixtures.
Manchester United have set a club record for the most defeats in a single Premier League season.
13 is definitely unlucky for Erik ten Hag. 🙃 pic.twitter.com/5qKZp42sf3
