The 0-0 draw at Old Trafford against Liverpool was Man United's 10th unbeaten match in the Premier League. Coach Solskjaer has breathed new life into the team. The team under the Norwegian coach plays openly, embroidering brocade.
Man United is now only 1 point behind the top 4 by dozens of points. During the high form period, injuries to key players occurred consecutively. Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Anthony Martial are all absent due to injury. They are all pillars of MU at the moment. Coach Solskjaer even called up players from the youth team in the most recent training session.
In the opposite half, Crystal Palace are currently 13th in the Premier League table with 30 points. Crystal Palace are in impressive form with 6 unbeaten matches.
Coach Roy Hodgson's team has a very uncomfortable playing style. This team has always been a chess piece for the big guys in the Premier League. They shocked Manchester City at the Etihad in the first leg. In addition, Crystal Palace have the home advantage of Selhurst Park, where they have only lost 2 of their last 7 matches.
Man United have a very good history of confrontations against the team from London. Specifically, Crystal Palace have not won against Man United in the last 12 matches, in the English championship alone, the last time Palace won was in May 1991, when the Premier League had not yet been born.
Facing Crystal Palace with a seriously disjointed squad. Will Coach Solskjaer have good plans to help Man United win? This will be a challenge for the young coach and Manchester United's match schedule ahead is very heavy.
