Manchester United FC are, currently, on an 18-match unbeaten streak, but dropped precious points at home against Southampton the last game-week. The Red Devils are level on points with fourth-placed Leicester City and are only separated by goal difference and face Crystal Palace next. The game at Selhurst Park will be tricky for the Red Devils, but United will be expected to win this match.
Palace have been poor since the restart as they have failed to score in four of their last five fixtures. They have been severely hit by Gary Cahill’s injury against Chelsea and from then have conceded a lot of goals. United need the victory more urgently as they need to win all their games to enter the top-four in the Premier League.
The last time these two sides locked horns in the Premier League, Crystal Palace went victorious 2-1 at Old Trafford. Patrick van Aanholt scored a last-minute goal to conjure up all the 3 points for Eagles. Dan James had equalized in the 89th minute for United, and the other goal for Palace was scored by their front-man Jordan Ayew.
WHEN & WHERE?

Venue: Selhurst Park
TEAM NEWS
The Red Devils full-backs, Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams, both endured injuries against Southampton, as United finished the game with only 10 men. But after further scans, Luke Shaw is deemed to be fine and probably will feature against the Eagles. Pogba looked tired against the Saints and might be given break before United face Chelsea in the weekend in the FA Cup.
On the other hand, the Eagles will be without Gary Cahill, Christian Benteke, and Martin Kelly are doubts for the Eagles. Benteke received a red card in their last match and is suspended whereas Kelly is out due to injury. The rest of the players seem to fit and ready for the battle in Selhurst Park.
