The last meeting between the two teams occurred in 2005 ago in the Champions League. In the match, both teams could only play a goalless draw for 90 minutes.

Manchester United's own will not be strengthened by their top scorer in the Carling Cup, Michael Owen because of an injury that requires the England striker was absent for a long time.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace managed to advance to the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup after beating Southampton by a score of 2-0 through goals from Darren Ambrose and Jermaine Easter.

Palace itself performed quite well in away matches this season, where they won four victories in their nine away matches this season, but on average they scored just one goal away.

Although the show is pretty good at the beginning of this season in the Championship, they have never recorded a victory since beating Southampton in the Carling Cup, apart from that they also have not scored in their last five games.

Coach Crystal Palace Dougi Freedman is one of the Scottish coaches who train in England, and in this match he will face the most experienced Scottish coach, Sir Alex Ferguson.
