Pre-match information
Man United will return to Old Trafford to host Crystal Palace in the Premier League after a trip to Romania in midweek.
The victory over FCSB in the Europa League helped coach Ruben Amorim and his team secure a ticket to the round of 16 in the Europa League. This result will give the "Red Devils" more confidence. With 5 wins in the last 6 matches, Man United has risen to 12th place, surpassing Palace in the rankings.
The Eagles lost at home to Brentford after a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. Oliver Glasner's side are slowly finding their feet after a poor start to the season. Last season, Palace won 1-0 at Old Trafford.
With the "Red Devils" having to travel and play in the middle of the week, Palace will have the advantage in terms of fitness. The visitors will have a longer rest and are better prepared. They can absolutely cause a surprise when they have drawn with both Chelsea and Man City this season.
