"Michael Carrick's rejuvenated Red Devils are in fine form at the moment, and narrowly beat Everton last week to tighten their grip on fourth-place in the table, three points clear of Chelsea."
"Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are in rather trying times. Performances have faded somewhat under Oliver Glasner of late, with unconvincing defeats of Zrinjski Mostar and Wolves still fresh in the memory alongside a late loss to Burnley."
"The Austrian has not been helped by injury headaches surrounding the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta, Jefferson Lerma and Eddie Nketiah. This side does tend to fare well against United, though, losing just once in their last four meetings."
Manchester United faces Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in a pivotal match for European qualification. United, under Michael Carrick's management, are performing well and hold a three-point lead over Chelsea in fourth place following a narrow victory over Everton. Crystal Palace enters the match in difficult circumstances, experiencing recent poor performances and dealing with significant injuries to key players including Jean-Philippe Mateta, Jefferson Lerma, and Eddie Nketiah. Despite Palace's current struggles, the team has historically performed well against United, losing only once in their last four encounters. Carrick must make tactical decisions, including considering Benjamin Sesko for a starting role after impressive substitute appearances.
