Crystal Palace are an established club in the Premier League and tend to finish in mid-table.

Victory in the Manchester derby has elevated Erik ten Hag's Red Devils towards an unlikely tilt at the Premier League title and another three points in south London will leave them knocking on Arsenal's door before their showdown on the weekend.In fact, United are unbeaten domestically since the first week of October and next up are a Palace side on a three-game losing streak after failing to take their chances in a narrow defeat at Chelsea.

Manchester United's winning streak came to an end at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.Crystal Palace picked up a late free kick to spoil the party after trailing 1-0 for nearly the whole second half.It's the first result to really go against United since the loss to Aston Villa, and delivered some bad vibes ahead of a big, big game at the weekend.

Arsenal have dominated the league so far but a ten-game winning run for the Red Devils has invigorated their debut season under Erik ten Hag.The weekend's derby win over Manchester City has boosted confidence around Old Trafford and a trip to the capital could prove pivotal in their continued rise.Palace, however, have a good record against United in recent seasons with results evenly split and a competent, albeit defeated, perfomance at Chelsea underlined why they will be a threat at Selhurst Park.

In what had felt like a potential title-decider at the Emirates Stadium, Erik ten Hag's side who dramatically missed the chance to go second in the Premier League by drawing with Crystal Palace on Wednesday night will be without the services of Casemiro.The Brazilian picked up his fifth booking of the season during the closing stages of the game at Selhurst Park and will now be forced to sit out of the trip to north London.

And you can hardly blame him either, as in the final stages of this game against Crystal Palace his side were dealt two hammer blows.First, in the 80th minute, Casemiro was booked for a wild lunge that sent Wilfried Zaha tumbling to the floor.It was the Brazilian fifth booking of the season and he will now crucially miss Sunday's match at Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Until Michael Olise's stunning free-kick shocked Erik ten Hag's side, the trip to the Emirates Stadium felt like a title-decider.United were on course to go second in the League and move six points behind the leaders and a win at the Emirates would have seen them close the gap to three.Still, despite bossing much of the game at Selhurst Park, Olise stepped up to leave United in disbelief.
