Manchester United versus Crystal Palace Preview, Prediction, and Optimal Wagers Analysis

In the upcoming Premier League match, Manchester United will face Crystal Palace, looking to bounce back from a mixed season so far.

Man Utd have lost four of their eight matches in all competitions this season, including a humiliating 3-1 home defeat to Brighton and a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the League Cup on Tuesday. However, they have a strong record at home in the league, losing only once in the last 21 matches. In their last 11 home EPL fixtures, Man Utd have kept 7 clean sheets.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace have a mixed record this season, with three wins, three losses, and two draws in eight matches. Their last two league trips to Old Trafford have resulted in defeats by 1 goal each. However, in their last four away league matches, they have had two draws.

Man Utd will be without key players Antony and Jadon Sancho, who are suspended internally, as well as Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia due to injury. Lisandro Martinez is also doubtful for the match.

Crystal Palace will be without Michael Olise, Jefferson Lerma, Odsonne Edouard, and Matheus Franca due to injuries. However, Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are expected to return to the starting XI. In the absence of Jadon Sancho and Antony, Crystal Palace may field Michael Olise as the right winger. Will Hughes is the favourite to replace Lerma in the midfield.

The two teams have a history of high-scoring matches, with Over 2.5 goals in 5 of the last 6 meetings. Man Utd's first league match of the season ended in a 1-0 loss to Wolves, followed by four consecutive losses. They will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their recent form against Crystal Palace.

Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace's manager, will be hoping for a better result against a struggling Man Utd side. The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to claim all three points.
