For the second time this week, Manchester United and Crystal Palace will lock horns at Old Trafford. The Red Devils easily progressed in the Carabao Cup in midweek, but the attention will be on the Premier League on Saturday.
Premier League Preview
Things are looking brighter at the Theatre of Dreams over the last seven days, as Man United have got back on track by winning each of their last two across all competitions. The Red Devils cruised through to the next round of the Carabao Cup in midweek, as they landed a straightforward 3-0 home success against Palace at Old Trafford.
A victory for the Red Devils on Saturday would see them close the gap on the Champions League spots in the league, and it would be their fourth win in seven matches at the start of the new season. However, they will need to get back on track at home after losing for the first time since the opening day of last season at Old Trafford against Brighton. But, United haven’t lost back-to-back home matches since November 2021.
A renewed effort is likely from the Eagles this weekend, as they were dumped out of the EFL Cup by United in midweek. Palace have lost two of their opening six matches this term, and they come into this fixture after going two without a win in the Premier League.
The Eagles have been short of quality in the final third across their last two matches, as they have registered 13 shots in fixtures against Aston Villa and Fulham. However, they have only found the back of the net on one occasion across those fixtures. They will need to be more clinical at Old Trafford this weekend.

United landed a 2-1 victory in this exact fixture last season. However, they haven’t won back-to-back home matches against the Eagles since March 2018. In fact, the Red Devils have won just three of their last eight clashes against Palace in the Premier League.
Man United vs Crystal Palace Prediction
United have looked much more solid in recent weeks, and that bodes well for their chances of maximum points this weekend. We expect to see a similar performance to the one in midweek, with the Red Devils cruising to maximum points by a 3-0 scoreline at the Theatre of Dreams.
