Manchester United will aim to clinch their fourth consecutive victory across competitions when they host Crystal Palace in a Premier League clash this Sunday.
United picked up an impressive 2-0 win over FCSB in their Europa League outing on Thursday. Ruben Amorim’s team, however, has a lot of catching up to do as they are still outside the top 10 on the Premier League table.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace’s five-match unbeaten run came to an end with 1-2 loss at home against London rivals Brentford last Sunday.

Man United vs. Crystal Palace lineups, team news
Luke Shaw is close to a comeback and there is a chance he could be part of the matchday squad this weekend, although Amorim will certainly want to avoid rushing him back.
Mason Mount and Jonny Evans are still out with injury, while Marcus Rashford looks highly unlikely to be brought back into the squad even if he remains a United player by Sunday.
Having made a few changes for the game in Bucharest, Amorim will likely do so again in a bid to keep the team fresh.
Man United predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez — Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot — Garnacho, Amad Diallo — Zirkzee.
Injured: Shaw (undisclosed, doubt), Mount (muscle), Evans (muscle)
Suspended: None
Adam Wharton is close to a return to full training with Palace but is not yet ready for a comeback.
Matheus Franca, Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad are also sidelined, while veteran defender Joel Ward has a calf issue.
Romain Esse could make his first start for the club after scoring off the bench against Brentford.
Crystal Palace predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Richards, Lacroix, Guehi —Munoz, Esse, Lerma, Mitchell — Sarr, Eze — Mateta.
Injuries: Wharton (groin), Franca (groin), Doucoure (knee), Riad (knee), Ward (calf)
Suspensions: None
Man United vs. Crystal Palace Prediction
United have shown some improvement in the new year and will be eager to push for another victory at Old Trafford.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace has proven to be a tough side this season and will come into the match fresher since they did not have any European commitments. Oliver Glasner’s team may earn a point against the Reds.
Prediction: Man United 1-1 Crystal Palace
