Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner's side visited Wolverhampton in the previous round and defeated the league's main underdog with a 2-0 scoreline. The club is unbeaten in the Premier League for three matches now, with two wins and a goalless draw. Notably, the Londoners have not conceded in three consecutive matches, a feat not achieved in the Premier League since October 2023. The team has climbed to fifth place, just one point away from the Champions League zone. It's also worth noting that Crystal Palace has conceded only nine goals, the second-best defensive record in the league after Arsenal (six goals).
- The club has not lost in 16 of their last 18 league matches (seven wins and nine draws).
- Crystal Palace has a 12-match unbeaten streak at home in the Premier League – six wins and six draws.
- The Londoners have not conceded more than one goal in 10 of their last 12 home games in the Premier League.
Predicted lineup for Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1)
Dean Henderson – Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi – Tyrick Mitchell, Daniel Munoz, Jefferson Lerma, Yeremy Pino – Adam Wharton, Ismaila Sarr – Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Midfielders Caleb Kropa and Cheick Doucoure will miss the match due to injuries.
Manchester United
Manchester United's unbeaten run in the league, consisting of five matches (three wins and two draws), was unexpectedly halted in the last round. This happened as they played at home against Everton but lost 0-1. Moreover, the visitors were down to 10 men from the 13th minute. As a result, Manchester United dropped to 10th place, although they are only three points behind the top four. Additionally, their matches average 3.2 goals, the third-highest scoring rate in the league.
- The club has not won in 15 of their last 21 Premier League matches – five draws and ten losses.
- Both teams scored in six of Manchester United's last eight league games.
- At least three goals have been scored in eight of Manchester United's last ten Premier League matches.

Senne Lammens – Leni Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw – Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro – Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo – Joshua Zirkzee.

Match Prediction: Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United
The Londoners have suffered only two defeats this season. Only the leading Arsenal has lost fewer matches, while all other opponents have at least three losses. Crystal Palace's success in the league can be attributed to their excellent defensive play. They are particularly strong at their home ground, where they remain unbeaten in the current Premier League season with two wins and four draws.
I believe Crystal Palace will not lose at home once again and will not allow the opponent to score more than one goal. Manchester United is more effective in attack this season than last, but scoring at Selhurst Park will be incredibly difficult. Moreover, Crystal Palace has not lost to Manchester United in the Premier League for five consecutive encounters at this stadium (two wins and three draws). In these meetings, Manchester United has scored only one goal.
My prediction – Manchester United Individual Total Under 1.5
