Crystal Palace vs Man United Tips

Tip 1

The United captain, who averages 2.61 shots per 90 for the Red Devils, has had more shots without scoring than any other player in the Premier League this season (13).

His 1.5xG also suggests that he should have rippled the back of the net by now, which when added to the fact that he’s scored in two of his last three outings against Palace, lends immense appeal for him to do so at 3/1 on Saturday evening.

Tip 2

When it comes to assisting his teammates, Bruno has had an exceptional start to the season, providing four goals in six fixtures.

He’s already averaging 5.62 shot-creating actions per 90 this campaign, carrying three assists in his last two matches after setting up two goals in Tuesday’s mauling of Barnsley.

With six contributions in his last 10 stretching back to the end of the previous season, we fancy Fernandes to have a big hand in claiming maximum points for United this weekend.

Crystal Palace Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

After a stellar conclusion to the previous season under Oliver Glasner, the Eagles have struggled to pick up from where they left off, losing their opening two matches before settling for two successive draws.

Eddie Nketiah is expected to keep his place in the starting XI after scoring his first goal for the club midweek against QPR. It remains to be seen whether fellow new signing Trevoh Chalobah will prove fit enough to make his debut.

Crystal Palace Predicted XI: Henderson; Clyne, Guehi, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Nketiah, Eze; Mateta.

Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

A 3-0 win over Southampton last Saturday lunchtime was swiftly followed up with a 7-0 thumping of Barnsley, but neither result does much in the way of alleviating the pressure on Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Both Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund have returned to group training, however, the pair, along with Luke Shaw, are still some way from full fitness.

Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Garnarcho, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee.
