Crystal Palace vs Man United Predictions

United are not great away from home despite a couple of decent results recently. I fancy Palace to hold onto a point and could possibly snatch all three.

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in 4 consecutive matches.
Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored 15 goals in his last 10 home games.
Crystal Palace are undefeated in their last 4 home fixtures against Man United.
Man United are winless in 6 of their last 8 away EPL matches.

Head to Head

The Red Devils have won 41 of their 65 matches against the hosts. There have been 13 draws and 12 Palace wins.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace lost their opening two matches of the Premier League campaign. The South Londoners were defeated 2-1 at Brentford and 2-0 against West Ham.

Palace responded by notching a four-match unbeaten run, with Mateta notching four goals. The Eagles thrashed Norwich 4-0 in the EFL Cup and drew 1-1 with Chelsea and 2-2 Leicester.

Oliver Glasner fielded a full-strength side in Palace’s Tuesday night 2-1 cup win at QPR. Eddie Nketiah and Eberechi Eze scored the goals as the Eagles were in control with 57% possession.

Crystal Palace Injuries & Team News

Defender Chadi Riad and forward Matheus Franca are confirmed absentees due to injury.

New signing and defender Trevoh Chalobah may have to wait for his Eagles Premier League debut. He is an injury doubt and will face a late fitness test.

Man United Form

Man United have had some early season struggles and were winless in three of their first four matches. United’s season began with a Community Shield loss on penalties to Man City following a 1-1 draw.

Erik Ten Hag’s side edged Fulham 1-0 on the opening day before losses to Brighton (2-1) and Liverpool (3-0). United then won just their second league away match since February with a 3-0 victory at Southampton on Saturday.

The Red Devils added a second consecutive win with a 7-0 cup triumph against League One Barnsley. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen scored braces and Anthony also hit the net.

Man United Injuries & Team News

Defenders Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are unavailable through injury.

Midfielder Mason Mount and striker Rasmus Hojlund may feature following their injury layoffs.

Verdict

Crystal Palace v Man Utd

Palace are not an easy side to play against at Selhurst Park and a patchy United are likely to struggle. Mateta has an incredible recent scoring record under Glasner at Selhurst and the Frenchman can net again.
