Manchester United's recent form took a hit with a loss to Everton, ending their five-match unbeaten streak. This defeat has increased the pressure on Ruben Amorim as they prepare to face Crystal Palace. The upcoming match at Selhurst Park presents a challenge, given Palace's strong home record and recent success against United.
Crystal Palace have been formidable at Selhurst Park, remaining unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home matches. This impressive run includes six wins and six draws. Their defensive strength is notable, with only Arsenal conceding fewer goals this season. Dean Henderson has been crucial, preventing 4.4 goals according to Opta's xGoT model.
Palace's recent performances have been solid, losing just two of their last
18 league games. They have accumulated 20 points from 12 matches, marking their best start since the 2012-13 Championship season. Despite drawing four of their six home games this season, they remain a tough opponent on home turf.
Manchester United have faced challenges away from home, winning only one of their last 11 away league games. Their away form under Amorim has been inconsistent, with victories mainly against reigning champions like Manchester City and Liverpool. However, they have struggled in London, winning just three of their last 26 top-flight away games there.
The Red Devils' recent matches have seen them score first but fail to secure wins, resulting in draws against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. Their conversion rate remains low at 10.4%, highlighting ongoing issues in front of goal despite creating numerous chances.
Key Players to Watch
For Crystal Palace, Daniel Munoz stands out with his contributions in both goals and assists this season. He has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other defender in 2025. Meanwhile, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes leads the league in chance creation with 31 opportunities but has only three big chances to his name.

Supercomputer Predictions
The supercomputer favours Crystal Palace for a win against Manchester United due to their strong home form and past successes against the Red Devils. In simulations conducted by Opta, Palace emerged victorious in over half of the scenarios (54.1%), while United were given a mere 22.3% chance of securing victory.
Palace's recent record against United is impressive, having won three of their last four league encounters. This contrasts sharply with their previous struggles against the Red Devils over many years. The Eagles' ability to disrupt United's rhythm could prove decisive once again.
The upcoming clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester United promises intrigue as both teams aim for crucial points. While Palace look to maintain their stronghold at Selhurst Park, United seek to overcome their away woes and regain momentum under Amorim's leadership.
