Fresh from their EFL Cup third-round clash, Amrabat's Manchester United<\/a> and Ayew's Crystal Palace are set to face off in a highly anticipated Premier League<\/a> encounter at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

This Man United vs Crystal Palace match follows their recent meeting, where the Red Devils secured a resounding 3-0 victory over the Eagles.<\/p>\n

As both teams prepare for this showdown, we'll delve into the lineups, recent form, and make three predictions for this exciting match.<\/p>\n

Man United vs Crystal Palace: Recent form<\/strong><\/h2>\n

September was a mixed bag for Manchester United, as they stumbled with three consecutive losses, conceding a total of 10 goals.<\/p>\n

However, they quickly bounced back with two crucial wins against Burnley in the Premier League and Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag, United's manager, is optimistic about his team's progress and aims to maintain momentum in their upcoming home fixtures.<\/p>\n

Currently sitting in ninth place in the Premier League, Man United is five points adrift from the top four.<\/p>\n

They are determined to rebuild their strong home record after Brighton & Hove Albion snapped their 31-game unbeaten streak at Old Trafford two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Crystal Palace began the season with promise, accumulating seven points from their first four Premier League matches and advancing in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n

However, their recent form has been less convincing, with a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa, a goalless draw against Fulham, and an EFL Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Palace's focus now shifts solely to Premier League duties, with five of their next eight fixtures taking place away from Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

Man United vs Crystal Palace: Head-to-Head record<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Historically, Manchester United has held the upper hand in their meetings with Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have won 13 of their last 16 top-flight home encounters with the Eagles.<\/p>\n

However, Palace, under the management of Roy Hodgson, has celebrated some memorable successes at Old Trafford in recent years, including a goalless draw in November 2018 and wins in August 2019 and November 2020.<\/p>\n

While their last two visits ended in one-goal losses, they remain a team that can challenge United on their home turf.<\/p>\n

Man United vs Crystal Palace: Team news<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Both teams have their share of injury concerns and player availability issues.<\/p>\n

For Manchester United, Antony and Jadon Sancho will be unavailable for different reasons, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, and Kobbie Mainoo are sidelined due to injuries.<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, Sergio Reguilon, and Lisandro Martinez are expected to return to the squad.<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Hojlund are set to return to the starting lineup, with Sofyan Amrabat potentially moving into midfield.<\/p>\n

For Crystal Palace, Dean Henderson, Michael Olise, Matheus Franca, Jefferson Lerma, and James Tomkins are injured.<\/p>\n

Odsonne Edouard and Naouirou Ahamada are doubtful, while Jairo Riedewald picked up a knock.<\/p>\n
