Crystal Palace host Manchester United in the Premier League at Sunday lunchtime, with the visitors reeling off the back of a woeful defeat at home to Everton.
The Toffees secured their third ever Premier League win at Old Trafford on Monday night, despite playing 77 minutes of the contest with 10 men after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping teammate Michael Keane.
United’s attempts to make the most of their man advantage proved futile, and they slumped to one of the meekest defeats of the Ruben Amorim era, which celebrated it’s first anniversary on the night.
That ended a five-game unbeaten run for the Red Devils, who now sit 10th in the league table. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, moved up to fifth after beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2–0 last weekend.
The Eagles are enjoying themselves domestically, but their first continental quest has so far proven a challenge. Oliver Glasner’s side suffered their second defeat of the league phase on Thursday night, losing 2–1 to Liam Rosenior’s Strasbourg.
And while they’ve struggled off the back of their midweek ventures so far this season, Palace boast an impressive recent record against the Red Devils. They’ve won three of the previous five meetings, and United haven’t triumphed at Selhurst Park since July 2020.
Here is guide to the Premier League’s Sunday lunchtime kick-off.
