Having lost 1-0 to Arsenal in their first home Premier League match this season, Palace are looking to avoid losing their opening two home games in a season for the first time since 2018-19. Palace have done so five times previously (1994-95, 1997-98, 2004-05, 2017-18, 2018-19), with only West Ham doing so more often in Premier League history (six).
