After a dismal 3-0 loss to rivals Liverpool before the international break, Man Utd have responded with convincing 3-0 and 7-0 wins over Southampton and Barnsley respectively. Winning breeds confidence, something Erik ten Hag’s side desperately need as September draws to a close.
However, United players will have to cast their minds back to last season’s trip to Selhurst Park this weekend. A shocking 4-0 defeat was handed to them by Oliver Glasner’s side, with Palace also winning the Premier League meeting at Old Trafford.
Palace find themselves at a low ebb heading into Saturday’s clash after failing to win any of their first four Premier League games of the season. Draws at Chelsea and at home to Leicester City, as well as two victories in the Carabao Cup, have kept spirits afloat during a difficult period.
