High-quality Premier League action is set for Sunday, and one of the standout fixtures comes from Selhurst Park. You can find the odds and our Crystal Palace vs. Man United picks here.
Crystal Palace have enjoyed another excellent start to the season under Oliver Glasner, winning two of their last three to sit fifth in the standings. A second straight win on Sunday could see Palace end the day as high as second.
Man United never seem to be far away from a crisis, and an end to their unbeaten sequence has seen fresh questions asked of Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils have now failed to win in their last three.

Crystal Palace continue to be one of the most underrated teams in the Premier League, but they could yet challenge for a shock Champions League spot in 2025-26.
Glasner has got the team set up excellently, and there were no surprises last weekend after they recorded a 2-0 away win against Wolves to move up to fifth. Despite setting up in a defensive system, Palace’s attacking stars, such as Sarr and Pino, catch the eye, and they are seamlessly able to transition the ball into dangerous areas.
However, home advantage hasn’t been as big of a factor for the team so far this term, having played out draws in four of their six matches at Selhurst Park.

Amorim would have taken plenty of positives from his side’s five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. However, they were unable to move into the UCL spots on Monday after falling to a shock 1-0 home loss against Everton.
United struggled for offensive quality throughout that fixture, and the absences of Sesko and Cunha in the final third were ultimately costly. Amorim’s chosen system continues to make headlines, as United were too intent on keeping their defensive shape to make an advantage of their extra man in the defeat against Everton.
On the road, United’s issues are apparent, having thrown away leads in each of their last two matches to take two points from fixtures at Tottenham and Nottingham Forest.
| TOTAL | Crystal Palace | Man United | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 33 | 7 | 20 | 6 |
| Goals | 78 | 26 | 52 |
Crystal Palace have avoided defeat in their last four EPL matches against Man United, winning on three occasions.
Their ability to play on the counter-attack will be a key factor this weekend, while United have already shown this term that they lack the creative guile to break down compact opponents. Therefore, a home win makes plenty of appeal when making Crystal Palace vs. Man United picks.
