Pundit Predictions: Crystal Palace v United

Monday 06 May 2024 13:06

Manchester United are back in Premier League action later this evening, as the Reds travel south to take on Crystal Palace.

Erik ten Hag's side were held to a 1-1 draw with Burnley last time out, with just four league outings now remaining before our end-of-season clash with Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup final.

United have been dealt a further blow in the build-up to tonight's fixture, with both Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford expected to miss out in the capital.

Our popular United Predictions game gives you, the supporter, a chance to forecast how you feel we will fare against the Eagles - and you only have a couple of hours left to do so.

LAST TIME OUT

United were beaten 1-0 by Palace in our previous meeting this season, with Joachim Andersen's strike in the first-half proving pivotal.

Then managed by Roy Hodgson, the Eagles have since had a change in the dugout, with Austrian Glasner stepping in following the former England boss' dismissal.

The Reds do have a chance to move into sixth place with victory at Selhurst Park and will be hoping to extend our current five-match unbeaten streak.
