Crystal Palace have a difficult task at hand when they travel to Old Trafford for an intriguing Premier League battle against Manchester United. The Red Devils are in impressive form across all competitions, making them the clear favourites in this contest. Not to mention that they are fresh from reaching the EFL Cup final. Besides, United’s home form has been impeccable in recent games. The Red Devils have won their last 12 matches at Old Trafford across all competitions.
Therefore, it will take a massive effort from Crystal Palace to get anything out of this game. However, they do have the experience of stopping Manchester United. Just last month in the reverse fixture, Palace ended United’s brilliant run by scoring a late equaliser to share the spoils. The visitors have to produce another impressive display of that manner to get anything out of this game at Old Trafford. However, it is not going to be easy as Erik ten Hag’s side will be keen to end their mini-winless run in the league.
Manchester United are on a two-game winless run in the Premier League. They would be eager to end that run on Saturday in front of their home supporters and what better way to do it against a Palace side, who are on a four-game winless run of their own. As things stand, Manchester United are occupying the third spot in the Premier League table with 39 points from 20 games. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are placed 12th in the standings with 24 points from 20 matches.

The home crowd will hope that the positive momentum continues into this weekend when they play host to Crystal Palace.
A total of 13 matches have happened between these two clubs at Old Trafford in the Premier League till now. Manchester United – as expected – dominate the head-to-head in these contests by winning ten of them. Crystal Palace have tasted success on two occasions, while the remaining game ended as a draw. The last time they played each other at this ground in the league was in 2021 when United won 1-0.
