Man United vs Crystal Palace Preview

Manchester United have picked up 16 points out of 18 under Michael Carrick but Crystal Palace’s recent record at Old Trafford warrants just as much respect ahead of Sunday’s clash.

The Eagles have won on four of their last six Premier League visits to this venue, including a 2-0 triumph just over 12 months ago.

They will face a resurgent Red Devils this time, but Crystal Palace to lead at any point @ 13/8 is tempting enough to be our first Man United vs Crystal Palace prediction.

Head-to-Head

Man United vs Crystal Palace Head-to-Head Record

United will take heart from November’s 2-1 success at Selhurst Park , although Palace did go ahead in that encounter via a Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty.

In fact, the Eagles have opened the scoring in four of the last five meetings between these teams and can be backed at 2/1 to do so once more.

Having made a case for supporting Palace , it is only prudent to admit United do look a much more formidable force under Carrick .

The Red Devils made it five wins and a draw from his six matches in charge when Benjamin Sesko’s superb 71st-minute breakaway goal proved decisive at Everton .

Super-sub Sesko had previously fired in a stoppage-time winner at home to Fulham and a last-gasp leveller away to West Ham and insists he is content with his current role.

The 22-year-old said: “It’s more about me showing up when it’s important, no matter how many minutes I’m getting, and focusing on delivering and trying to help the team secure the wins.

“I’m not even thinking about ‘I have to start, I have to start’. If I get five minutes, I’m going to use them. For me, it’s just about trying to enjoy and delivering for the team.”

We were on Sesko to score last at Hill Dickinson Stadium and are playing up those winnings on him to repeat the trick here at 9/2 .

Crystal Palace Form Guide

Palace went through a worrying 12-match winless run in all competitions, which coincided with head coach Oliver Glasner announcing that he will leave at the end of the season.

However, the Eagles appear to have got over that hump, with recent Premier League wins over Brighton and Wolves backed up by Thursday’s 2-0 Europa League victory versus Zrinjski Mostar .

Glasner found himself at odds with some fans for a while but winning games has helped and he commented: “I think one of our biggest strengths is togetherness.”

The Eagles are 10 points clear of the relegation zone and have no real reason to approach this match in a negative manner, so Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals @ 21/20 is added to our Man United vs Crystal Palace betting tips.
