The Red Devils come into this back on the back of a draw against Burnley

Crystal Palace currently sit 14th in the Premier League points table, however, they may have their sights set on overtaking Brighton before the season ends, with their rivals just four points ahead of them. The Eagles have the ability in attack to punish Manchester United, with the likes of their goalscorers not showing signs of stopping creating attacking chances. Crystal Palace won 1-0 against the Red Devils at Old Trafford earlier this season and could well add to that win with a huge double as they look in great form with their star attackers in form under their new manager.

Manchester United attempt to avoid more misery on the road as they travel to face Crystal Palace. The Red Devil’s form could be described as patchy throughout the whole season. In their last match, they played against Burnley who are in the relegation zone, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, Erik ten Hag’s side have not won away from Old Trafford in the Premier League for more than two months. There will be no Champions League football for Manchester United next season 6th position appears to be the best finish they can hope for.

Players to Watch

Michael Olise(Crystal Palace)

He is confident and creative, capable of carrying the ball forward, dribbling through traffic and delivering penetrative yet delicate passes and crosses. Olise can deliver accurate crosses with minimal backlift, making them difficult to stop. When operating from the right, as a left-footer he looks to cut inside and deliver bending, dropping crosses to teammates attacking the centre. He can improve in his shooting but overall he is a player who can hurt the opponent at any time.

Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)

Physically, he is not easily outmuscled. He blends his core strength with excellent manoeuvrability that helps him absorb and break out of pressure. He is also good at leveraging his body to win the ball and maintain possession. He possesses excellent dribbling skills, allowing him to navigate through tight spaces and beat opponents. Mainoo’s vision on the field and decision-making abilities are very good. Mainoo’s understanding of the game allows him to anticipate plays and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
