Manchester United is set to face Crystal Palace for the second time in four days at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. The Red Devils emerged victorious in their previous encounter, a 3-0 win in the Carabao Cup, which also proved successful for betting enthusiasts. This triumph, along with their recent 1-0 win against Burnley, has provided a much-needed boost for United after a lacklustre start to the season.
The Red Devils are the favourites going into this match at 8/15 with Betfred while Palace are 5/1 to produce a shock and a draw is 16/5. The Eagles enter this game after a series of disappointing results, failing to win in their last three matches across all competitions. Breaking this streak against Manchester United on Saturday will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for the Eagles.
Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United aims to maintain their positive momentum by securing another victory against Crystal Palace. It was evident in their previous match that Palace's secondary lineup lacked the same quality as their first team. Therefore, it is expected that Roy Hodgson will field a more familiar starting XI at the Theatre of Dreams this weekend.
Despite Palace's recent struggles, they cannot be underestimated. The Premier League is known for its unpredictability, and any team is capable of causing an upset on any given day. Manchester United must remain focused and determined to secure another three points and continue their climb up the league table.
With the return of key players and a renewed sense of confidence, Manchester United will be eager to showcase their dominance once again. The home advantage at Old Trafford further strengthens their position as they aim to
