Crystal Palace eye three consecutive wins over Manchester United.
As Crystal Palace seek their first win of the season, they aim for a historic third consecutive triumph over a high-scoring Manchester United, who arrive at Selhurst Park with a point to prove after last season’s surprises.
Crystal Palace
A midweek 2-1 win over QPR in the EFL Cup has brought some cheer to Crystal Palace after their 2-2 draw with Leicester City last weekend. The Eagles narrowly avoided a third Premier League defeat, with Jean-Philippe Mateta's brace in the 47th and 90+2nd minute salvaging a point after a two-goal deficit against the Foxes.
On Saturday, Crystal Palace will aim for their first win of the season as they face Manchester United at home. They'll be eager to continue the momentum, having completed a double over the Red Devils last season—a first in the club's history.
In recent encounters, Palace have performed well against United, winning five out of the last ten matches between the sides, with two draws and three losses. This marks a notable improvement, given their previous 20-game winless streak in Premier League matches against United.
Manager Oliver Glasner is expected to maintain a three-at-the-back formation, a 3-4-1-2 setup, featuring last weekend's hero Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eddie Nketiah in attack. Eberechi Eze is likely to support them from just behind.
Manchester United
Manchester United swept ten-man Southampton aside with a 3-0 win last weekend at St. Mary’s Stadium. This victory was followed by a 7-0 dismantling of Barnsley in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
With ten goals in their last two games across all competitions, the Red Devils aim to erase last season’s memories against Palace. When asked if lessons were learned from last season's game, Erik ten Hag replied, "Not in particular," adding that they are aware of the challenges ahead.
Despite this, with two defeats in three away games against Palace, doubts could arise before the weekend’s meeting. Additionally, Manchester United have struggled in the capital, winning just two of their last 16 Premier League away games against London sides.
A 4—2—3—1 formation with Joshua Zirkzee in attack is expected against Palace. Rasmus Højlund could make a return following a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
