Man Utd vs Crystal Palace – Top Two Tips
Premier League predictions for Man Utd's home game on Saturday against Crystal Palace. Ten Hag's men made it through to the final of the League Cup in midweek and will be looking to continue their impressive run of form against Crystal Palace this weekend. The visitors will hope to be pushing for a top-half finish this season but there is still a chance that the Eagles will be drawn into a relegation battle.

Man Utd to Win-to-Nil
Man Utd will have been very disappointed not to have secured all 3pts away at Crystal Palace last month after leading the game up until the final few moments. Man Utd have claimed three wins from their last seven competitive and non-competitive matches against the Eagles, playing out two draws during that period. The hosts head into Saturday's clash on the back of four wins from their last six outings in league and cup, while Palace are without a win in their last five matches, losing three times and drawing twice. United have kept clean sheets in two of their last three attempts and Palace have failed to score in three of their last five matches.
Marcus Rashford to Score
Rashford has arguably been Man Utd's best player this season, returning to form in front of goal and leading ten Hag's Red Devils revolution. The England international has netted a total of 18-goals in all competitions this season, half of which have arrived in the Premier League. The 25-year-old is in great form right now with 8-goals in his last 10 outings in all competitions, so you can see why we're backing Rashford to score this weekend.

How will the teams lineup for this Premier League match?
Man Utd
Manchester United's last league game ended in defeat as they made the trip to the league leaders Arsenal. Both teams gave excellent accounts of themselves dring this 5-goal thriller with Rashford firing United in front in the 17th-minute. Arsenal equalised before the break and then took the lead early in the second half. Ten Hag's men looked like they might have secured a point when Martinez equalised just before the hour mark but Arsenal pinched a winner in the final minute. Eriksen joins the likes of van de Beek on the sidelines this weekend while there remain doubts over McTominay and Dalot who will face late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup: de Gea (GK), Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Martínez, Casemiro, Fernandes,. McTominay, Weghorst, Rashford & Antony
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace held Champions League hopefuls Newcastle to a goalless draw at Selhurst Park last time out. Both teams had chances to win the game but a point a piece was a fair result on the balance of play. Andersen, McArthur, Zaha and Ferguson all look set to miss the trip to Old Trafford this weekend through injury.
Predicted Lineup: Guaita (GK), Ward, Guéhi, Mitchell, Richards, Schlupp, Eze, Doucouré, Ayew, Zaha & Édouard

Player to Watch: Bruno Fernandes
With Eriksen out injured, Bruno Fernandes will be tasked with creating more goalscoring opportunities for his teammates this weekend.
The Portuguese international is more known for scoring goal than setting them up but this season he has provided an equal amount of both in the Premier League. With 4-goals and 4-assists to his name, Fernandes is the second top scorer and goal-creator in the Man Utd team behind Rashford and Eriksen.
Rahford will need more service with Eriksen out injured and Fernandes has a good eye for a pass so don't be surprised to see the former Sporting man play a slightly different role on Saturday.
