History of the Wimbledon v Crystal Palace fixture

Wimbledon prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park Stadium on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. It couldn't be much closer,Dons having the edge 4 games to 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park Stadium was less than a year ago, in October 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.
