Crystal Palace have won three of their last four meetings with Manchester United, seeking to go five unbeaten against the Red Devils for the first time ever. Man United have not won any of their last five visits to Selhurst, despite having won five on the spin immediately beforehand.

Having seen their unbeaten streak shattered, can Manchester United get back to winning ways? On Monday night, the Red Devils suffered one of their most damaging defeats of recent times, and there are plenty of choose from. They were beaten 1-0 by Everton at Old Trafford, despite the fact the Toffees were reduced to ten men in hilarious fashion after only 12 minutes; Idrissa Gana Gueye dismissed for slapping teammate Michael Keane following an argument. The night's only goal came inside the first half an hour, and Rúben Amorim's refusal to change his tactics and adapt to the scenario in front of him was really not a good look, leaving three back against no striker.
Before this, positivity had been building. Manchester United were enjoying a five match unbeaten streak, beating Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton, before draws on the road against both Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. Now though, the Red Devils have sunk down to tenth, so has the bubble truly burst for Amorim's team ahead of this trip to the capital?
As for Crystal Palace, they too need to respond to a defeat, albeit one that was a lot more recently. On Thursday night, despite taking the lead through Tyrick Mitchell, Palace were beaten in the Conference League 2-1 by Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau, the winner a rebound from a free-kick 13 minutes from time. Oliver Glasner's side have now won two and lost two in the league phase, under pressure to win their final two fixtures against Shelbourne KuPS if they're to gatecrash the top eight.
Meantime, in the Premier League, the Eagles are soaring. Last weekend, Glasner's side battled to a 2-0 victory over bottom of the table Wolves, thanks to quick-fire second half goals from Daniel Muñoz and then Yéremy Pino. This sees Palace start the weekend all the way up in fifth, beaten only at Arsenal and Everton thus far, unbeaten in 12 Premier League matches at Selhurst, dating back to 15 February. Thus, the home side will fancy their chances of a noteworthy scalp come Sunday lunchtime.

Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Manchester United: (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Guéhi, Lacroix; Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Yéremy, Sarr, Mateta.
Crystal Palace player to watch vs Manchester United
Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored four goals in his last three Premier League appearances at Selhurst, while the Frenchman has bagged three in his last three against Man United, so will both continue?
Manchester United team news
In a battle of the back threes, Rúben Amorim remains without Harry Maguire, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Šeško, hence why Joshua Zirkzee started on Monday. He is seeking his first goal since netting against Olympique Lyonnais in April, while it is one day shy of the one year anniversary since his most-recent Premier League goal.
Overall, no changes are possible, with Noussair Mazraoui chosen over Diogo Dalot at wing-back, while Mason Mount is the only player Amorim may want to get into his team.
Having been an unused substitute against Everton, Lisandro Martínez is hoping to feature for the first time since 2 February against Palace when he ruptured his ACL. Lastly, Patrick Dorgu and Casemiro would miss Thursday's clash with West Ham if cautioned.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (3-4-3): Lammens; Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Amad, Mbeumo, Zirkzee.

Bruno Fernandes netted home and away against Crystal Palace in 2022/23, but these are the only goal he's bagged in ten meetings with the Eagles, so can he improve this ratio in South London?
