Manchester United won the local derby in thrilling fashion on Saturday, and they’ll be looking to build on that result on Wednesday against Crystal Palace.
United should be able to take advantage of this opportunity against their uninspired hosts to move into second place with a win at Selhurst Park, at least for the next 24 hours while Manchester City plays Tottenham on Thursday.
Crystal Palace are struggling to regain form
When these teams played an identical game in the last round of matches last season, Palace won 1-0 in May, but a repeat performance appears doubtful.
Since the World Cup break, the Eagles have lost four of their previous five games, and their last two league contests were scoreless.

United, in comparison, is now on a nine-game winning streak that dates back to November and has a perfect record since returning to action following the tournament in Qatar with seven victories in all competitions.
Manchester United may likely not concede a goal
Erik ten Hag’s team may claim another victory to nil as Palace have failed to score in four of their previous five league games, and they have only conceded twice in their seven-game winning streak since the World Cup.
Crystal Palace team news
Nathan Ferguson and James McArthur are still unavailable due to injuries.
Joachim Andersen, who left the game against Chelsea on Sunday due to a calf injury, is probably going to miss this one.
Manchester United team news
Marcus Rashford will need to be evaluated before this game because he continued to play on Saturday despite being injured.
Due to an injury that forced him to leave that game, Anthony Martial will also need to be evaluated.
Axel Tuanzebe, Donny van de Beek, and Diogo Dalot are still sidelined due to injuries.
Jadon Sancho keeps getting left out.
Match Facts
- Manchester United have won their 5 previous games in the Premier League
- Crystal Palace have been defeated in their previous 3 matches.
Conclusion
As United have scored exactly three goals in four of their last six games in all competitions, another victory for the visitors seems likely.
Man of the moment Marcus Rashford is the standout scorer choice as he has found the back of the net in every game since returning from Qatar, totaling eight goals.
With this, I think United should win 1-0 in a hard-fought contest.
