Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
English Premier League
Date: 18 January 2023, Wednesday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Selhurst Park (London).

Manchester United completed a marvelous second-half comeback in the city derby against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford continued his phenomenal spell of form after the World Cup break. The English forward has scored in each of his team’s seven games since Boxing Day.

The Red Devils have won all seven outings in the process. The win over the city rivals has brought them just one point shy of second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League standings.

Erik ten Hag’s men will be looking to keep such a brilliant spell of form going on Wednesday evening when they travel to London to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The visitors will be big favorites here, especially because the Glaziers have not quite been enjoying their best form of late.

Palace suffered their third consecutive defeat in all competitions on Sunday afternoon when they fell 1-0 away at Chelsea.

For some reason, Patrick Vieira’s men are really struggling to get things going in the final third.

They have failed to find the back of the net in three of the last four Premier League matches. Knowing that Manchester United have been very tough to break down of late, we are not quite optimistic regarding the hosts’ chances here either.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Head-to-head

• These two teams met each other in a preseason friendly in July last year when Manchester United celebrated a 3-1 victory.
• The Red Devils won 13, drew 6, and lost just 4 of the last 23 head to head clashes with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
• Just one of the previous four head to head games between these rivals provided goals at both ends.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Prediction

Manchester United are on a streak of seven consecutive victories. We fancy them to prolong it here against the out-of-form Crystal Palace.

The main pick is Man Utd to win to nil at the odds of 3.00, while we also fancy the red-hot Marcus Rashford to score the first goal of the game at the 7.00 odds.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Betting Tips

• Manchester United to win to nil @ 3.00 (2/1)

• Marcus Rashford to score the first goal @ 7.00 (6/1) odd.
