Manchester United will look to maintain their recent good form as they host Crystal Palace in an English Premier League clash on Sunday. 

The Eagles have done some good work away from home this season and have caused problems at Old Trafford in recent meetings. Both teams have enough going forward to make things interesting while they are likely to serve up a closely fought encounter.

Manchester United Form


Manchester United are beginning to find some form under manager Ruben Amorim and have won four of their last five matches across all competitions. They beat Fulham 1-0 last time out in the Premier League and followed it up with a 2-0 win at Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League.

While things appear to be going in the right direction for Manchester United, they still appear a bit laboured and are not blowing teams away. Their last four matches across all competitions have produced halftime draws.

Manchester United may have kept a clean sheet at Fulham but their defending still needs a lot of work as they have conceded in the previous six Premier League matches. The Red Devils have scored in their last four matches in the league with three of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Crystal Palace Form


Crystal Palace were beaten 2-1 at home by Brentford last time out in the Premier League.  Manager Oliver Glasner will consider that result as a minor blip in their recent resurgence having gone unbeaten in their previous six matches across all competitions.

The Eagles have done some of their best work on the road lately and have picked up four wins in their last five Premier League away matches. That form has been driven by a solid attack with Jean-Philippe Mateta the stand out performer with four goals in this run. 

Goals are not a problem for Crystal Palace at the moment, the priority will be to tighten up a bit more at the back. They have conceded in three of their last five Premier League matches while three of their last five matches across all competitions have produced halftime draws.

Head to Head


Manchester United generally have a fine record in this fixture and are unbeaten in five of the last seven matches against Crystal Palace. However, Palace have won two of the last three meetings and played out a 0-0 home draw in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Manchester United and Crystal Palace have good quality going forward but have the tendency to be left exposed at the back. Both teams are expected to score on Sunday with the clash set to produce over 2.5 goals.

Palace have caused Manchester United problems lately and with a close encounter on the cards this match is likely to serve up a halftime draw.
