Manchester United are set to travel to Selhurst Park to battle with Crystal Palace in the Premier League tomorrow.
The Eagles are win-less in the league this term, stumbling through two losses and settling for draws in their last two matches.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner enjoyed a fine finish to the 2023/24 campaign and the expectations are high from the Austrian this season.
A win over Man United would be a fantastic way for them to rejuvenate their season.
The Londoners have had their number in recent times, doing a double over United last season.
Palace duo Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze could pose a massive threat to the Red Devils.
The 27-year-old striker has blossomed under Glasner’s guidance.
He scored 16 goals and registered five assists in 39 appearances across all competitions last term.
He scored four goals and assisted once in six games this season. His stunning overhead kick against Norwich City last month left everyone in awe.
The arrival of Eddie Nketiah has brought additional competition for the number nine spot and could spur on the Frenchman.
United must also keep a keen eye on Eze who has registered four goal contributions in six games.
The 26-year-old is Palace’s chief source of creativity and can unlock defence with his vision.
His dribbling and incisive passing could cause trouble for the Red Devils.
If the United defence could keep the duo silent, their chances of beating Palace would increase massively.
Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are expected to be at the heart of United’s defence.
The Dutch defender had a great outing against Southampton in both boxes. He was solid at the back and gave his side an important lead.
The defensive pair must keep Palace’s main attacking threats in check.
