Upbeat Crystal Palace Look To Pile Misery on Struggling Manchester United
The Crystal Palace vs Manchester United clash should be a pretty eventful clash because of the current conditions of both teams.
The Eagles have been able to move up to fifth position in the Premier League table after winning two of their last three league matches and they are looking to potentially move up to the top four as well. They face a Manchester United side that recently witnessed their five-match unbeaten run snapped by a disappointing loss to Everton in the league.
With the momentum solidly being on Crystal Palace’s side right now, they will be upbeat enough to play exciting attacking football and take the fight to the Red Devils.
Manchester United, meanwhile, need to be way more clinical and decisive with their work in the final third for them to be able to start winning these difficult away games again.
Crystal Palace have won three of their last five games against Manchester United, and that positive record will give them confidence to put up a glittering display against Ruben Amorim’s side.
Lively Jean-Philippe Mateta Eager to Torment Manchester United
Crystal Palace will go with a balanced approach against the Red Devils, but they will look to entertain their fans at Selhurst Park with some clinical attacking football.
A lot of responsibilities will be upon the French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has had quite the lively start to the 2025/26 season with six goals in 12 appearances in the Premier League so far.
Mateta, however, has not been able to score in his last two appearances with the Eagles and is eager to rediscover his scoring form at home. He will look to be a thorn in the Manchester United backline, using his physical prowess to bully their defenders and help with his side’s link-up play. He will also look to get into more promising positions in the final third and finish off any chances at his disposal clinically to help Crystal Palace get a commanding win.

Can Bruno Fernandes Reignite Winning Spark for Manchester United?
With Manchester United in need of some real inspiration, it’s time for Bruno Fernandes to pick up the mantle and act like a motivational leader for them. Fernandes has five goal contributions (two goals, three assists) in the Premier League so far this season, and he needs to be more consistent with his goal contributions.
The Portuguese midfielder will need to be efficient with his final product, be more accurate with his passes or crosses into the box to help set up major chances for his side. Moreover, Fernandes also needs to be braver into getting into more genuine scoring positions and clutch with his finishing to help the Red Devils get a much-needed big away win.
