Rashford intends to build upon his cup success as he prepares for the match at Crystal Palace
The Premier League is set for an exciting encounter this weekend as Crystal Palace hosts Manchester United at Selhurst Park. Both teams have announced their predicted lineups for the match, with both adopting a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Predicted Lineups:
For Crystal Palace, the goalkeeping position seems to be held by Dean Henderson, although the exact defenders in the three-man defense are yet to be confirmed. The midfield consists of four players, including wing-backs, while the attack features two attacking midfielders supporting a lone striker.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is likely to see André Onana return between the posts after recovering from a hamstring injury. Their defense is expected to be a three-man unit, with Yorro, Harry Maguire, and 'Heaven' forming the backline. Luke Shaw stands ready as a backup if 'Heaven' is unfit. The midfield consists of Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Dorgu. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are the attacking midfielders, with Benjamin Sesko leading the line as the striker.
Injury Notes and Form:
Manchester United's injury notes include the long-term absence of Luzandro Martinez and the unavailability of Mazraoui. Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta has been in form, scoring more Premier League goals since Glasner took charge, including a goal in the 4-0 rout of United in May.
Manchester United's attack has struggled this season, with United captain Fernandes having more shots without scoring than any other player in the Premier League. However, Rashford scored twice in United's 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the EFL Cup and marked his Premier League account for the season with a goal in last week's 3-0 victory at Southampton.
Previous Encounter:
Crystal Palace thrashed United 4-0 in their last Premier League encounter, a result that marked the first time they have ever beaten United in consecutive league matches. United have struggled in London under Ten Hag, winning only two of their last 16 away Premier League games in the capital.
Opta Predictions:
The Opta win probability for the match predicts a draw, with Crystal Palace having a win probability of 35.9% and Manchester United having a win probability of 39.1%.
Confidence and Expectations:
Rashford believes the confidence garnered from United's midweek win could take them far, and Eberechi Eze scored on his return to his former club in the last game for Crystal Palace.
This promises to be an exciting clash between two teams looking to make a statement in the Premier League. Stay tuned for the live updates!
