Team News
Matheus Cunha did not play against Everton, but the Brazilian winger is still not ready to return to the Man United squad. Joshua Zirkzee played as the striker against Everton, but his performance was not up to the mark. So Ruben Amorim is likely to start with Mason Mount in the front of Man United’s attacking lineup.

He might have a few minutes tomorrow against Crystal Palace.

Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mount, Diallo; Mbeumo
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Man United
Man United need a massive boost after the poor performance against Everton. But Crystal Palace are currently in a better condition, and their recent record against Man United is outstanding. It would be very difficult for the Red Devils to secure 3 points away from home, but a draw can be a highly probable outcome.

Crystal Palace: 2.26
Draw: 3.52
Man United: 3.11
