The hosts’ last game was against their neighbors in the table, Fulham FC. In a very straightforward match with a good level, both teams gave each other nothing and Fulham managed to take a 1-0 lead after half-time. For a long time it looked as if the game would settle for just one goal, but in the 87th minute Palace managed to equalize at 1:1.
United had to play basement side Burnley at home last weekend, but it was impossible to tell who the higher-ranked team was in the duel. In a very bumpy duel, Manchester managed to put the first exclamation mark in the 79th minute, but this lead was already history in the 87th minute. Erik ten Hag’s team were also unable to get more than a draw in this home game

Crystal Palace Form & Balance Check
In recent weeks, Oliver Glasner’s team have secured their place in the league with good results. They are now unbeaten in three games and have won two and drawn one of their last five games, only losing twice. The away win at Liverpool was particularly impressive as they inflicted their first home defeat on the Reds. This puts them in 14th place in the overall table and they can now look up rather than down.
Home weakness
However, they do have problems at home. They have only won six and drawn four of their 17 home games and have lost seven times. With the resulting 22 points, they are 15th in the home table, but the 5-2 home win two weeks ago gives them momentum for this upcoming game
Crystal Palace facts & analysis
- Unbeaten in three games
- Table position 14
- Last game draw
Manchester United Form & Balance Check
The last few weeks have been a test of patience for the Red Devils. They have only drawn four and lost one of their last five games and have now gone five games without a win. In the battle for the Europa League, which would only be damage limitation anyway, they are also treading water as a result and are now two points behind sixth place. Their results have left them 18th in the form table and if they want to reach international business, they need a turnaround now
Offensive problems
Man United have scored just 52 goals in their 24 games, the worst of the top ten teams in the league. There seems to be a bit of a worm in the works, because they rarely really exude enough danger going forward, even against supposedly weaker opponents, or manage to become really compelling
Manchester United facts & analysis
- Seventh in the table
- Winless in five games
- Last game a draw
Oliver Glasner will once again send his team out onto the pitch in a 3-4-2-1 formation and although he has the opportunity to rotate his squad compared to the game against Fulham, no major changes are expected. Goalscorer Schlupp is an option for the offense, otherwise the personnel will remain the same.
Erik ten Hag will only have to do without Antony (yellow card suspension) in his 4-2-3-1 next week, otherwise he can draw from the full squad. The winger will be replaced by Mount. McTominay could be an option in the center, otherwise nothing will change in terms of names
