This Sunday, a thriving Manchester United, who are now top-four contenders, welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford.
Much to the fan’s disappointment, United didn’t have a flawless start to the season, but thanks to their fantastic streak of six games undefeated, five wins, they have seen themselves jump right into 4th place. As with all remaining games, The Red Devils have a lot of pressure riding on their shoulders to not drop points.
Crystal Palace are traveling here after a fairly tough midweek fixture in the UECL, as a win was crucial for their place in the round of 16. It turns out that they were able to win comfortably with a scoreline of two goals to zero.
In the league, Palace are currently residing just in the bottom half of the table, but should they win here they’ll be able to hop right into 8th place, and once again be contenders for the top five.

Our Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Prediction
With the momentum and confidence that United are riding on right now, they will definitely be pushing forward lots in their next home game, being in front of an Old Trafford crowd for the first time in three weeks.
Therefore, they will be leaving lots of space to be exploited on the break, which is where Sarr comes in very handy. The Senegalese is very quick on the break, as seen in his most recent away game against a top team (due to a big international break), where he produced five shots against Liverpool, all hitting the target, scoring two.
Since his return from AFCON, Sarr hasn’t gone a single game without creating multiple shots on target. That alone is very promising, and makes odds of -115 for one of Palace’s most threatening players too appealing to ignore.
Our Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Pick: Ismaila Sarr 1+ Shots on Target.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
