Manchester United could not have feared for a worse result in their last match before the international break. They met a devastating loss in the Manchester Derby against City and saw their three-match winning streak come to an end. They have not been in the best of shapes lately but they will have a seemingly simple task on Saturday. They will play host to Crystal Palace who entered the international break in really bad form and are plagued by injuries.

Spread: Crystal Palace +1.25

Total: 2.75 Goals

Manchester United (6-4-2) saw their winning streak get shattered right before the break when they fell by 1-3 on the road against Manchester City. Their opponents had already taken a two-goal lead by the start of the second half, but Martial scored a penalty kick at the 58th minute for United. But City sealed the three points with another goal at the end of the match for the final 1-3. Prior to that they had three consecutive wins in all competitions by either 1-2 or 2-1. Manchester United have now kept just a single clean sheet in their last ten matches in all competitions. They are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Premier League with 20 points, just as many as Watford and Bournemouth above them. All three teams are four points behind Arsenal and the top-five. Manchester United have been great at home (3-1-1), but have a loss and a draw in the Champions League and another draw in the Carabao Cup.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace (2-8-2) fought really hard in their last match before the break but eventually lost by 1-0 against Tottenham. They were playing without both their best attackers in Zaha and Benteke, while their defense is also missing a few players. Crystal Palace were in tragic shape before the international break with six losses in their last seven. To make matters worse, they scored just four goals in that span and didn’t keep a single clean sheet. They are currently sitting at the 16th spot of the Premier League with 8 points, just as many as Southampton and Cardiff below them. Cardiff are also sitting below the red line, while all three teams are one point behind Burnley and Newcastle. Crystal Palace were excellent on the road at the start of the season, winning four of their first five matches in all competitions. But they were bad lately, having lost each of their last five and scored just twice.

Manchester United won both matches against Crystal Palace last season, by an easy 0-4 in this venue before a tough 3-2 on the road. They have yet to meet a loss against Crystal Palace in 15 matches in all competitions (11-0-4). And they have won each of the last five as hosts, while also keeping clean sheets.

Crystal Palace are having some real trouble staying healthy this season and will come here with 4-5 players who are doubtful. If Zaha doesn’t play then their scoring chances will be close to zero. I will take the Under 2.75 Goals in this match, as United might be missing Lukaku, Martial and/or Pogba on this one.
