Crystal Palace vs Man United – Betting Preview
Crystal Palace host Manchester United on Wednesday at Selhurst Park as the Eagles hope to upset the red-hot Red Devils!
Crystal Palace Preview
After a poor run of results (just one win in their last seven across all competitions), Patrick Vieira’s Palace fought valiantly in their narrow loss at Chelsea the last time out and are now nervously eyeing the Premier League relegation battle.
With four losses in their last five games and no goals scored in any of those losses, Palace has recently appeared a little sluggish offensively. All of Patrick Vieira’s attacking options are at his disposal, but it appears that he is having trouble assembling the right team.
Palace needs a big victory to get their Premier League season off to a strong start because teams below them are starting to win, and the Eagles no longer appear to be at ease in midtable. Wilfried Zaha needs to regain his outstanding early-season form because Vicente Guaita was excellent against Chelsea.
Manchester United Preview
Erik ten Hag and Manchester United are moving in the exact opposite direction as they are now being predicted to make an unlikely title challenge after defeating Manchester City at the weekend (albeit in somewhat controversial fashion).
That may be a bit hasty, but United has won nine straight games in all competitions, and a victory over Palace will temporarily put them in second place.
Marcus Rashford is currently the star for United, who are soaring. Since returning from the World Cup, he has been on fire, scoring seven goals in his last six games.
In the middle of the field, Casemiro is in charge, Bruno Fernandes is controlling the action, and left-sided centre back Luke Shaw has emerged as a revelation.
United are looking better than they have in a while, and Erik ten Hag is aware that there is still a lot of room for improvement!
