Man Utd set for heavy home win against Palace

Manchester United will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the new campaign as they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Red Devils have started the season brightly and will be disappointed to have not come away with all three points against Wolves last time out.

After hammering Chelsea 4-0 in their first match, Paul Pogba missed a second-half penalty as United had to settle for a draw at Molineux.

Anthony Martial gave his side the lead on 27 minutes, firing the ball into the net to finish off a slick move.

However, a Ruben Neves wonder-strike 10 minutes into the second-half denied Manchester United the opportunity to go top of the table.

Pogba’s spot-kick was saved by Rui Patricio and the match finished 1-1.

Crystal Palace have just one point from their opening two matches. After a goalless draw with Everton, Palace were beaten by newly promoted Sheffield United.

Roy Hodgson will be looking for more from his players following their below par start to the new campaign.

Palace could only manage six shots against Sheff Utd, while the hosts registered 15 in reply.

Against Everton, they had the same amount of shots but also recorded just 35% of the ball possession.

Manchester United have been playing some exciting football and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has shown faith in the club’s young players.

Marcus Rashford, Daniel James, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have all featured heavily so far, while 17-year-old Mason Greenwood has been given opportunities from the bench.

Welsh winger James scored on his debut for the club against Chelsea, while fellow new signings Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire have settled in comfortably.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set to face his former club for the first time since his big money move from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

The exciting young right-back will be desperate to put in a standout performance against his old employers.

In 55 meetings between the two teams over the years, Crystal Palace have managed just seven victories.

United’s last top-flight defeat to Palace came all the way back in 1991 and the Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 13 meetings (W11, D2, L0).

United have beaten Palace 37 times previously and this trend looks set to continue on Saturday.

Forebet predicts a comfortable win for Manchester United, with over 2.5 goals for the home side.
