Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Gentingbet Preview

Manchester United will be hoping to avoid another embarrassing penalty incident this weekend at Old Trafford when they take on Crystal Palace in week three of the Premier League. United come into this one off the back of a 1-1 draw with Wolves on Monday night, a missed Pogba penalty denying them all three points. With a struggling Palace next up, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will expect his team to secure all the points and remain in touch with the league leaders.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Match Preview

Crystal Palace have not scored a goal away to Manchester United since they were promoted to the Premier League in 2013 – and their prospects of doing so this time do not look bright either.

The Eagles have a poor record against United generally and at Old Trafford in particular, not having beaten these rivals in a league match anywhere since 1991.

They earned a creditable 0-0 draw last season when the Red Devils were struggling towards the end of Jose Mourinho’s reign, but otherwise it has been one defeat to nil after another when Palace have visited this venue.

And the fact Roy Hodgson’s side have failed to bulge the net so far this term, in a goalless draw with Everton and a 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United, suggests things may be no better this weekend – unless Wilfried Zaha can suddenly turn it on against his former club.

United, meanwhile, have collected four points from six and it could, probably should, have been the maximum haul only for Paul Pogba to miss a penalty in Monday’s 1-1 draw at Wolves, where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were excellent in the first half but much less convincing after the break.

There are still several weaknesses easy to spot in the United team, but they look to have improved to some degree on last season, especially their poor end to the campaign, and we are backing this to be a typical home encounter for them against Palace.
