Crystal Palace and Manchester United clash at Selhurst Park on Sunday, looking to bounce back from defeats.
Two points separate these teams on the table, despite the Eagles being fifth and the Red Devils sitting 10th, and a win for the visitors could get them firmly back in the hint for European places.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Preview
Palace are coming off a 2-1 UEFA Conference League defeat to Strasbourg on Thursday, a result that ended their five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions (4W, 1D).
The Eagles have little time to recover, playing 62 hours later against United in the Premier League, thus probably be a bit leggy.
However, Oliver Glasner’s side are unbeaten in their last 12 home league games (W6, D6), the second-longest run in their top-flight history, and will carry this confidence into the game.
The positive feeling around United a couple of weeks ago has quickly dissipated, as the Red Devils have now failed to win any last three matches (D2, L1).
Last Monday, they fell 1-0 at home against Everton despite the Toffees playing the majority of the game with one man sent off.
Things are not looking great for this trip to Palace, with United having won just one of their last 11 away league matches (D4, L6).
Ruben Amorim’s men also won just three of their last 26 trips to London in the Premier League (D7, L16).
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United head-to-head
Palace have not lost any of their last four meetings against Man United (W3, D1), and they have not conceded in those games.
The Red Devils have failed to win any of their last five trips to Selhurst Park (D3, L2).
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United team news
