Crystal Palace v Man Utd

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Preview

Crystal Palace continued their recent encouraging form in the Premier League with a 1-1 draw away from home at Fulham and although The Eagles still remain in 14th place in the top flight table, they now hold a commanding 15-point cushion above third from bottom club, Luton Town, while Manchester United were also involved in a stalemate last weekend when they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home by relegation threatened Burnley at Old Trafford.

Crystal Palace had previously racked up three important wins on the trot in the Premier League with victories gained over Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle United which have helped steer Crystal Palace further away from the relegation battle and it's looking like the appointment of Austrian manager Oli Glasner has been an inspired bit of business by the London club.

However, before we get too carried away, the bigger picture shows Crystal Palace have managed to pick up just four wins out of their last 13 matches overall in the English top flight which includes an earlier 3-0 home win against Burnley but also includes slipping to five defeats as well.

Results on home soil though have been pretty encouraging for The Eagles as they have been handed just two defeats in their last nine games at Selhurst Park while collecting five wins along the way.

Manchester United's very ordinary Premier League campaign continued last weekend with a dismal 1-1 draw at home to lowly Burnley which became United's fourth stalemate within their last six games while the bigger picture shows Erik ten Hag's side have managed to capture just two wins from their last nine games overall.

This dismal run of results include wins against strugglers Everton and Sheffield United but also losses incurred at the hands of Fulham, Manchester City and Chelsea which have dashed any hopes that Manchester United may have had in terms of catching up fifth placed Tottenham and a European spot.

The visitors now trail Tottenham by a six-point margin but with four league matches remaining of this Premier League season, United will still feel they stand a chance of overhauling Spurs starting with this upcoming clash at Selhurst Park on Monday night.

Form and results away from home though have been sporadic where the Red Devils have been concerned as ten Hag's side have registered just three wins from their last 11 outings on the road which were captured at Wolves, Aston Villa and Luton Town but they'll be hoping they can spark back into life with a win against Palace here.

Crystal Palace v Manchester United Verdict

Manchester United have recorded three wins out of the last five meetings against Crystal Palace and the visitors also have the greater incentive to pick up all three points in this one too.
