Form Guide: Manchester United vs Crystal Palace (Premier League)

Manchester United welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford on Saturday, with the Reds eager to further consolidate their place within the Premier League top four.

Crystal Palace ended Manchester United‘s long consecutive winning streak in the reverse match of this fixture in January, with that match ending in a 1-1 draw, meaning United will be extra keen to overcome their London opposition this time around.

United are back to winning ways after a 3-2 loss to Arsenal and the previously mentioned 1-1 draw with Palace in January.

On Wednesday, the Reds booked their place in the Carabao Cup final, as Erik ten Hag looks to crown his impressive first season with some form of silverware.

A win here would maintain the three points gap between Manchester United in fourth and Spurs in fifth, regardless of Spurs’ result at home to Manchester City on Sunday.

Palace come into this fixture in relatively poor form, despite two consecutive draws against impressive opponents in the form of Manchester United and Newcastle.

The London club sit at 12th in the league, clear of immediate relegation danger but far off the pace in terms of challenging for a European place.

Having been knocked out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round however, Palace have had two weeks of rest and will therefore be energetic and intense compared to a Manchester United side who are averaging a match every little over three days.
