Man Utd’s Marcus Rashford has been involved in six goals in his six Premier League appearances since the resumption of the competition following the World Cup (5 goals, 1 assist) – only Erling Haaland (7) has been involved in more in that time. Manchester United have dropped points having led in their last two Premier League games, having not done so in any of their previous 32 matches. Only once have Manchester United failed to win three consecutive Premier League matches despite leading each time, doing so in December 1998 (draws with Aston Villa, Tottenham and Chelsea). Following Michael Olise’s free-kick for Crystal Palace to make it 1-1, and Eddie Nketiah’s strike for Arsenal to make it 3-2, Manchester United have conceded result-altering goals in the 90th minute of consecutive Premier League matches for the first time.
Man Utd vs Crystal Palace - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & predictionManchester United will look to carry their recent domestic cup form back into the Premier League when they host Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Red Devils have sealed their place in this season's Carabao Cup final, beating Nottingham Forest 5-0 on aggregate in the semi-final, with a 3-1 FA Cup fourth round win over Reading also sandwiched between the two legs. However, their most recent Premier League match ended in a narrow 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, so they'll hope to bounce back against a Palace side without a win in five across all competitions - a run that actually includes a 1-1 draw with United just a few weeks ago.
Crystal Palace have won just one of their last seven Premier League games (D2 L4), with that win coming at Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve. This is their third consecutive Premier League game against the team in fourth place, following draws with Manchester United (1-1) and Newcastle (0-0) last month. Manchester United have won their last five Premier League home games, last having a longer run at Old Trafford between May and December 2017 (8). Crystal Palace have taken seven points from their last four away league games against Manchester United (W2 D1 L1), just one fewer than they had from their first 21 visits to Old Trafford (W2 D2 L17, assuming 3 pts/win). However, they did lose this exact fixture 1-0 last season.

Michael Olise scored Crystal Palace’s equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United last month – the only Eagles player to score home and away league goals against the Red Devils in the same top-flight campaign was Bobby Tambling in 1970-71. Only Kevin De Bruyne (11) has more Premier League assists than Man Utd’s Christian Eriksen this season (7). Eriksen has been involved in seven goals in his last nine league appearances against Crystal Palace (2 goals, 5 assists), while only against Stoke (8) and Southampton (6) does he have more Premier League assists than against the Eagles (5).
He joins Joachim Andersen, Nathan Ferguson and James MacArthur on the sidelines. Crystal Palace starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Guaita; Ward, Richards, Guehi, Mitchell; Doucoure, Schlupp; Olise, Eze, Ayew; Edouard. Palace have a respectable recent record against Man Utd but enter this match on a poor run of form. That, coupled with Man Utd's success in the cups recently, will lead to a mismatch when it comes to confidence, which isn't ideal considering Zaha is out, widening the talent gap that little bit further.
Diogo Dalot could also make a return after missing United's last two matches, though that remains to be seen. Man Utd starting 11 (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst. Crystal Palace team newsWilfried Zaha is a huge miss for Palace due to a hamstring injury.
