Team form
Manchester United W
Manchester United have picked up momentum in recent weeks. They won 1-0 away at Aston Villa on 8 November, held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at home a fortnight earlier, and beat Liverpool 1-0 in October. Over their last five matches, they have scored 6 goals while conceding just 2. Their season average of 1.11 goals scored per game sits level with Palace's, but their defensive record of 1.22 conceded per game is significantly tighter than their visitors' 2.11.
Crystal Palace W
Crystal Palace have endured a more inconsistent run. They opened their recent form with a 3-2 home win over Charlton Athletic on 8 November, but that masks underlying fragility. Before that victory, they lost 2-1 at Brighton, 3-1 at home to Chelsea, and 1-0 at home to West Ham. Over five matches, Palace have conceded 9 goals against 6 scored. Their defensive vulnerabilities are evident in a season average of 2.11 goals conceded per game—nearly a goal more than United's tally.
Head-to-head
Manchester United hold a clear advantage in the recent head-to-head record. They won 3-1 at home in February 2025 and secured a 1-0 victory away in December 2024. United have not lost to Palace in their last two meetings and appear to have the measure of their opponents.
Key factors
United's structured approach under Eva Olid—operating in a 3-4-2-1 formation—has delivered defensive solidity. In their most recent match, they registered 56% possession, 2 expected goals and 7 shots on goal. Palace, deployed in a 3-4-1-2 by Jo Potter, showed 57% possession in their last outing but managed only 1.82 expected goals and 3 shots on goal. The underlying metrics suggest United create and control more effectively. Palace's leaky defence remains their critical weakness; they have conceded in four of their last five league games. United's attacking threat, while not prolific, has proven clinical in recent weeks.
Prediction
United are the favourite to win this match. They possess superior recent form, a tighter defence, a better head-to-head record, and more consistent attacking threat. Palace's defensive frailties and inconsistent results make them vulnerable to a United side that has won their last two outings. The expected goal balance favours the hosts, and their league position reflects a side performing at a higher level than their tenth-placed visitors.
Back Manchester United to win. The hosts have the form, defensive structure and attacking efficiency to overcome a Palace side struggling for consistency. A fairly low-scoring contest is likely given Palace's defensive issues and United's measured approach, but the Red Devils should have enough to secure three points.
