Crystal Palace take on Manchester United this Sunday in a fixture that sees two sides with vastly different trajectories clashing at Selhurst Park. The Eagles, currently flying high in fifth place under Oliver Glasner, welcome a United side that finds itself languishing in 10th position and searching for an identity under Ruben Amorim.
Palace enter this match with the confidence of a team punching above its weight, having secured a professional 2-0 victory away at Wolves last weekend. While their midweek Conference League slip-up against Strasbourg was a minor blemish, their domestic form has been imperious, particularly at home where the atmosphere has become one of the most hostile in the league.
Manchester United, conversely, arrive in South London under a dark cloud following a demoralizing 1-0 home defeat to ten-man Everton on Monday night. That result snapped a brief unbeaten run and laid bare the inconsistencies that continue to plague Amorim's squad a year into his tenure.
The Red Devils have struggled to break down organized defenses, and their inability to control matches against mid-table opposition has left them trailing the Champions League places by a significant margin. The pressure is mounting on Amorim to deliver not just results, but performances that suggest his tactical philosophy is finally taking root.

Our Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Prediction
Palace will lean heavily on the physicality of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who continues to be a nightmare for Premier League defenses. However, they will be without midfield anchor Cheick Doucouré and defender Chadi Riad, both sidelined with knee injuries. The onus will fall on young Adam Wharton to control the engine room against a United midfield that has looked disjointed.
For the visitors, the injury list remains a headache. Striker Benjamin Sesko is out with a knee injury, robbing them of a focal point up top, while Harry Maguire faces a late fitness test. This leaves the creative burden squarely on Bruno Fernandes and the versatile Matheus Cunha to manufacture chances against a disciplined Palace backline. From a betting perspective, the value lies with the home side.
Palace's organization and United's fragility—especially in transition—give the Eagles the upper hand. United has shown little to suggest they can dominate a team as well-drilled as Palace on their own patch. Expect a tight affair, but one where the hosts' cohesion proves the difference against a disjointed United outfit. Our prediction for Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United: Nil in H1, CP take H2.
