Premier League: Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Live
Preview: Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United is scheduled for Monday at 7:00pm at Selhurst Park. The Red Devils are in eighth place in the league, trailing sixth-placed Newcastle United by two points. Palace is in 14th place, four points behind Fulham who are in 13th place.
Despite dropping points in their last match, Crystal Palace managed to extend their unbeaten streak to four games under the guidance of Oliver Glasner. The team has shown a more entertaining style of play, especially at home where they have scored 20 goals in their last eight Premier League matches. Palace will aim for a third consecutive home win, a feat they have not achieved since October 2022. While facing Man United would typically be a tough challenge, Palace may have an opportunity to capitalize on their opponents’ inconsistency and secure their first-ever league double over the Red Devils.
After a lackluster 1-1 draw with Burnley, Manchester United is facing the possibility of a squad overhaul in the summer as the new ownership group is reportedly considering a major shake-up. The team’s disappointing season has left them aiming for a top-six finish and Europa League football at best. To achieve this goal, they must break a four-match winless streak in away Premier League matches, which is their worst run under Erik ten Hag. United has struggled in recent visits to Selhurst Park, failing to win in their last three trips, and has only won one of their last ten league matches in London.
Head-to-head
Crystal Palace surprised Manchester United with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford in September of last year. In their last 24 matches at Selhurst Park, Manchester United have achieved 13 victories, 7 draws, and suffered only 4 losses.
Prediction
Once again, Man United will have an improvised defense for the upcoming game, making it challenging to predict a clean sheet for them, particularly against a strong Palace side. Despite this, Manchester United still possess considerable attacking talent, and it is anticipated that the points will be split in the upcoming match in London on Monday evening.
