Crystal Palace and Manchester United will face each other at Selhurst Park in London in the Premier League this weekend. The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:30pm UK time on Sunday and promises to be a hugely exciting game of football.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are 15th in the Premier League table at the moment with six points from six matches, just two points above the relegation zone. Patrick Vieira’s side did well last season, but the London club are really struggling at the moment.

Palace will head into the match against Manchester United this weekend on the back of a goalless draw with Newcastle United away from home at St. James’ Park in the Premier League. It followed a 1-1 draw with Brentford at home which came after a 4-2 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Team News:

Wilfried Zaha will continue to start for Crystal Palace and will be the talisman for the his team, like always. Jordan Ayew will retain his place in the starting lineup too.

Manchester United

Manchester United have been superb in recent weeks and are back in form. Erik ten Hag’s side lost their opening two Premier League games this season, but since then they have won four. After getting hammered by Brentford away from home, United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford, won 1-0 against Southampton away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium, edged past Leicester City 1-0 and beat Arsenal 3-1.

United are not expected to challenge for the Premier League title this season, but the Red Devils are supposed to be challenging for the Premier League top four. Things are looking positive for the Red Devils right now, and they will be keen on maintaining this good run of form for a while.

Team News:

Cristiano Ronaldo is not starting matches now, and it is likely that Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag will leave him on the substitutes’ bench for the match against Crystal Palace. Marcus Rashford and Christian Eriksen are playing brilliantly and will keep their place in the starting lineup.

Key Factors to Consider

  • Crystal Palace have scored seven goals in six Premier League matches.
  • Crystal Palace have conceded six goals in six Premier League matches.
  • Manchester United have scored eight goals in six Premier League games.
  • Manchester United have conceded eight goals in six Premier League games.
  • Marcus Rashford has scored three goals in six Premier League matches.

Conclusion

Crystal Palace do have some very good players, and Selhurst Park is a very hard place for any team to win against. Manchester United will find it tricky against the Eagles, but it is very likely that they will pick up all three points from the encounter in London. Just.
