Crystal Palace vs Manchester United 06.05.2024 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Crystal Palace host Manchester United in the Premier League at Selhurst Park in London on May 6, Monday. Palace will hope that they can come up trumps against United owing to the latter's poor run of form, although it can very well be reversed. United need to make sure that they do not concede any early goals and maintain their defensive shape throughout the game.

Key Highlights 

Ranked 16th in goals scored per match (1.3 goals), it is clear that Palace have not done well in scoring goals. Crystal Palace and Manchester United have not drawn any of their last 3 matches against each other, with a win for Palace and two for United coming in them. Palace have scored 11 goals in their last 5 matches, which is rather decent. 

Injury Report

Palace will have to do without the services of Eberechi Eze, Jefferson Lerma and Marc Guehi among others whereas for United, Anthony Martial, Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martinez, among others, are unavailable.

Prediction

United too have not been fantastic in front of goal this season and are ranked 9th in goals scored per match (1.5 goals). However, they have been rather poor in defence and haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 8 matches. Their star midfielder Bruno Fernandes is ranked 2nd in big chances created in the competition (20), and we expect United to win.
