Manchester United bid to continue their recent good form when they play Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim's side have won three straight games against Rangers, Fulham and FCSB to lift the mood around the club following a difficult start to 2025.
United secured qualification to the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday but their position in the Premier League table remains a concern and urgently needs addressing. Despite beating Fulham last weekend, United remain in the bottom half of the table and face an uphill battle to secure European qualification through the league.
Palace are themselves in decent form under Oliver Glasner and were on a run of six games without defeat before they lost to Brentford last weekend. The Eagles won the corresponding fixture last season and are unbeaten against United in their last three meetings.

Manuel Ugarte, Harry Maguire and Amad Diallo are all set to come back into the Manchester United team.
Ugarte, Maguire and Amad were all given breathers for Thursday’s Europa League trip to FCSB and are likely to return at Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee could also come back into the side.
Kobbie Mainoo shone as one of the No10s against FCSB but Ruben Amorim has said previously the midfielder can struggle with two games in quick succession, so he could drop to the bench.
Andre Onana is set replace cup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
Luke Shaw is closing in on a return from the injury that has kept him out since the start of December, but the left-back is still not ready to make a comeback.
