Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Manchester United have won four of their last five competitive matches.
• Crystal Palace have lost three of their last four visits to Old Trafford.
• Seven of Bruno Fernandes’ nine goals this season have come at home.

Red Devils’ resurgence gathers steam

Manchester United secured a top-eight finish and an unbeaten league-phase record in Bucharest on Thursday as they worked through the gears in the second half to emerge deserved 2-0 winners over FCSB, and their resurgence can continue when Crystal Palace visit Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Red Devils have now lost just one of their last seven games in all competitions, winning four of their last five after back-to-back draws against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Admittedly, some of their performances have left a lot to be desired, but the results are coming for Ruben Amorim and another victory may be on the cards this weekend.

Eagles suffer setback

Crystal Palace saw their own unbeaten run draw to a close against Brentford last weekend and, while their recent form has been impressive, they have lost on expected goals in 13 of their 23 games this season.

That defeat allowed Manchester United to leapfrog them in the table and, with three defeats in their last four visits to Old Trafford, the gap between the sides could expand on Sunday.

Fernandes can lead hosts to victory

Backing the home side to take the points is the play, and a 2-1 correct score prediction appeals. Manchester United have been fortunate in their recent clean sheets but have scored twice or more in four of their last five. This includes a 2-1 win in their last home game against Rangers, while Oliver Glasner’s Eagles lost by that scoreline last weekend.

Bruno Fernandes looks a big price to add to his goals tally, too. The Manchester United captain has scored seven of his nine competitive goals at Old Trafford this term and has scored in his last two home outings, while he has found the net in two of his last four league meetings with Palace.
