Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Match Preview

Crystal Palace is ranked in 12th place with 22 points and comes in a very bad run after a single win and four losses over the last five matches. Recently, they could not keep up with the good form they had at the beginning of the season but they still have a comfortable seven-point distance from the relegation zone.

With 17 goals scored so far their offensive side has not been that great and in fact, in the last five matches they scored only 2 goals, those in the game against Bournemouth. Having some injuries in the attacking part of the team influenced this thing as Zaha has been the only one performing at the expected level with 6 goals - 2 assists followed by Eze with 3 goals - 3 assists. At home, though, they scored ten goals over nine games this season while finding the back of the net at least once in six encounters.

Manchester United, on the other side, is ranked in 4th place with 38 points and comes in flawless shape as they are unbeaten in the last five matches collecting five consecutive wins. The most recent one was in the Manchester derby where they managed to come back with two late goals. Now they sit only one point behind Manchester City and nine from Arsenal.

With 29 goals scored their attack has been quite good and in the last five matches scored a total of 11 goals averaging at least two goals per game. A big contribution to this has given Marcus Rashford as he has scored at least a goal in each of the last seven games across all competitions. He is their best scorer with 8 goals - 3 assists, followed by Fernandes with 3 goals - 3 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Crystal Palace has got a chance to change something in front of their fans and I guess they can score a goal. Their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in four of the last five duels on the road. Manchester United got enough quality up front to try and continue their winning streak even after this game.
