English Premier League Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Match Preview ⚽ ⚽

One of the good things about football is the passion and pace which it is usually played at. The fans and their positivism or at time negativism also gives football a different kind of look. Thankfully, we get all these and more with the EPL. With the new season already started, we are guaranteed some levels of drama in the games that are set to be played. A match that has a high potential for drama in the next match day would be the game between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. There is just so much bragging rights involved for different reasons.

Manchester United

Wan Bissaka made his move to Manchester United from Crystal Palace this summer amid doubts on whether that move would prove to be highly successful for him. However, so far, Manchester United have had a good start to the season. With a complete thrashing of Chelsea at Old Trafford and a draw against Wolves in a stadium that has seen them not lose all year, they can pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Now, they get to play Crystal Palace and their star summer signing would most likely get to face his former club. If that is not enough incentive for this match to be explosive, then nothing can be! A win here would take them to possibly 3rd in the league with them occupying the 4th position after two games.

Crystal Palace

After selling one of their star players and resisting the transfer of the other, Crystal Palace has had a woeful start to the season. They have won not a single game so far and would be gutted to lose another one yet again to Manchester United. They would also be out to prove a point here as having sold one of their star players to the red devils over the weekend. There is no doubt then that a win here would sit very nicely with them. It would also send a message to Zaha that the club may just be good enough for him after all.

Form

With Pogba missing the penalty against Wolves in the last game, Manchester United have maintained their unbeaten start to the season and would look to extend it here. You can expect largely the same team that started against Wolves to start here today as they would want to play with the same intensity that has characterized their start to the season. However, they would have to be careful as Crystal Palace would always be a threat, especially on the counter-attack. For Crystal Palace, they would be hopeful of being able to spring a surprise win from this game. That would mean playing some of the best football that they would play all season.

Crystal Palace and Manchester United all have something to prove going forward. However, only one of them would have the chance to come out victorious. There is also the chance that this game could very well end in a draw.
