Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Predictions & Betting Tips

A struggling Crystal Palace side welcome Manchester United to Selhurst Park in the 17:30pm kick-off on Saturday, 21st September. 

Yet to register a win in the league, Palace are up against a side off the back of a league and EFL Cup win, looking to secure a third victory in as many games.

Crystal Palace

Last season’s incredible run of results towards the end under new manager Oliver Glasner had Palace fans set for an exciting start to the new season.

Expectations were soon dampened as the Eagles failed to register a league win so far, with two losses from the first two matches and two draws in their last two. Despite this, they have only gone one game without scoring, which will be encouraging for fans and the manager alike.

Palace drew 2-2 with Leicester City last time out and 1-1 with Chelsea prior to that.

Manchester United

Erik ten Hag’s side started the new season with a win against Fulham before two defeats in a row against Brighton and Liverpool. 

They are heading into this tie on a short run of form, having won 3-0 away at St Mary’s at the weekend and after putting seven past Barnsley in the week in the EFL Cup.

The Red Devils have kept three clean sheets in their last five games, as many as they have in their previous 24. However, both matches they have conceded in so far this season have resulted in losses.

Palace vs Man United History

The two sides have played each other 53 times in all competitions, with Palace winning 11, Manchester United 32, and 10 matches resulting in a draw.

Crystal Palace did the double over Manchester United in the Premier League last season, a stat they will be looking to solidify further. What is particularly encouraging for Glasner and his side is that Man United have only won two of their last 16 league games against London sides.

United have lost two of their last three away league games against Crystal Palace, with the other resulting in a draw. They will be looking to turn their recent fortunes around against this Palace side.
