Whenever Man United haven't won this season, their games have featured one of four hallmarks that have come to epitomise their form.
Erik ten Hag's third visit to Selhurst Park finds Manchester United in a drastically different situation to his previous appearances at the ground.
Had United beaten Palace, they would have leapfrogged City into second, throwing up the possibility of a first top-of-the-table encounter with Arsenal since 2010. This is also a joint-record season for United added-time winners. The only previous campaign United notched four winners beyond the 90th minute was 2018-19. Three were on Jose Mourinho's watch before his residency at The Lowry ended the week before Christmas.
It cost them in Europe, too. United surrendered one-goal and two two-goal leads to Galatasaray in Manchester and Istanbul and a two-goal and one-goal lead in one evening in Copenhagen. League Two Newport pegged them back from 2-0 down to 2-2 in the FA Cup and Wolves recovered from 3-1 down to make it 3-3 in the 95th minute. Then Mainoo had the golden touch against the Old Gold.
The most damaging were at home and away to Galatasaray and away to Copenhagen. United were seemingly in control in all three ties yet collected one point and finished at the foot of Group A in the Champions League. United were ahead for a combined ten minutes against Galatasaray at home, Sheffield United equalised six minutes later, Andre Onana spilt Hakim Ziyech's free-kick with United 3-1 up for only seven minutes and Forest regained their lead within four minutes.
