Crystal Palace Form
Man United Form
Crystal Palace host Manchester United at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a Premier League showdown that already carries the weight of recent history. Both sides come into this clash with something to prove, and with the home crowd ready to turn up the volume, you can expect a tense, physical contest from the first whistle. This Crystal Palace vs Manchester United prediction sets the tone for a fixture that rarely disappoints. So, here’s what you should look out for as the action unfolds in South London.
Crystal Palace step into this game in excellent shape, with Oliver Glasner dealing with just one confirmed absentee. Caleb Kporha remains sidelined with a back injury, but the rest of the squad is fit, sharp, and ready for action. Palace’s recent defensive resilience—only two goals conceded in their last six matches—shows just how settled this group is.
Manchester United are in a similar situation regarding availability. Rúben Amorim is only missing Benjamin Sesko, who remains out with a knee injury. United have been inconsistent lately, but with such a strong squad available, there’s no shortage of quality for the visitors to rely on.
Dean Henderson; Jaydee Canvot, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi; Daniel Muñoz, Daichi Kamada, Adam Wharton, Tyrick Mitchell; Ismaïla Sarr, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Yéremi Pino.
Senne Lammens; Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw; Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu; Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo; Matheus Cunha.
If you’re weighing up this matchup, you’ll notice two clear narratives. Palace are incredible at home—12 straight unbeaten league games at Selhurst Park—and they’ve become something of a nightmare opponent for United. Not only are Palace unbeaten in their last four against the Red Devils, they’ve also won three of those meetings.
United, meanwhile, have the ball but often struggle to turn dominance into goals. They had 70% possession and 25 shots in their last match but still lost to Everton. Their defensive record hasn’t helped either, with goals conceded in five of their last six games.
Given the patterns, you might lean toward:
United tend to let teams in, and Palace’s home form speaks for itself.
You can feel the tension building for this one. Palace are flying at home, their defensive organisation is top-tier, and they’re increasingly confident going forward. Daniel Muñoz, Pino, and Sarr bring real dynamism on the flanks, and Mateta has been ruthless when chances fall his way.
United, on the other hand, are unpredictable. They can control a match for long stretches but still leave the door wide open defensively. They’ve gone five league trips to Selhurst Park without a win, and that psychological block matters more than people admit.
So, here’s what I think… this feels like another tight affair. United will have their moments, but Palace’s structure and home energy should stop them from walking away with all three points.
