Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Red Devils face the Eagles in their next Premier League outing.

Manchester United are set to host Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in the Premier League 2024-25 Matchday 24 on February 2. Ruben Amorim’s men are in the 12th spot in the EPL table. Crystal Palace are one spot below Man United and will be keen on securing three points as well.

The Red Devils are on a three-match winning streak when all competitions are considered. Manchester United will be at home and confident to face the Eagles. Ruben Amorim has been giving chances to the new faces and they are kind of adjusting to the team after leaving some top stars on the bench and even out of the matchday squad. Man United are making a slow comeback in the second phase of the season.

Crystal Palace will be slightly low on confidence here as they will be coming in after facing a defeat against Brentford in their last league outing. This is an important phase for them as well. The Eagles met with a loss after being on a two-match winning streak in the English Premier League.

Kick-off:

Sunday, February 2 at 07:30 PM IST

Location: Old Trafford, Manchester, England

Form:

Manchester United: W-L-W-W-W

Crystal Palace: D-W-W-W-L

Players to Watch

Bruno Fernandes (Man United)

The Portuguese midfielder continues to play an important role for the Red Devils. From controlling the midfield areas to helping his side in the attacking third, Bruno Fernandes can do it all. Ruben Amorim will be keen on keeping Bruno in the starting XI. He joined Man United five years ago and since then he has shown how impactful he is.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)

The Frenchman with his decent form can be a real threat to Manchester United’s defence during their clash. He has scored a total of eight goals in 23 Premier League matches for his side. The 27-year-old striker will be looking to step up for his side so that he can lead them to a win against the Red Devils at the Theatre of Dreams.
