Match Venue And Kick-Off Time

Crystal Palace will host Manchester United at Selhurst Park by 21:00 WAT on Wednesday in the Premier League, in what may be a tough encounter for them, given the terrific form the Red Devils are currently in.

Match Preview

The Eagles will head into the game off the back of a three-game losing streak in all competitions, with their most recent defeat being a 1-0 loss at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.

They currently sit 12th on the league table, with 22 points after 18 games and could potentially climb up to 11th if they secure all three points from the encounter, although that will be dependent on the number of goals they are able to put past United.

Manchester United on the other hand, are still basking in their 2-1 triumph over local rivals Manchester City at the weekend.

They now have won nine straight games in all competitions since their 3-1 loss at the hands of Aston Villa in November.

The win sees them momentarily move up to third position before being displaced by Newcastle United, although, the Magpies have played one more match than them.

However, a win over Crystal Palace could see them move up to second on the table, that is, if Manchester City lose against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.
