Old Trafford will be a venue to visit this Saturday Morning, as we are getting a clash between the 9th and 10th placed teams in the Premier League Scoreboard when Manchester United hosts Crystal Palace.
The Red Devils have gone on a curve this season, as they started in a good way just to fall into a bad streak. This made them fall pretty hard in the table, however, they have shown some recovery since their hard-fought loss against Bayern and translated that to the national competitions.
Their opponents, the Eagles, are right behind by one point. They are having a normal season by their standards, but their fall to this same rival in the EFL Cup sets a bad precedent, as they looked pretty poor, especially in defense.
Momentum and the field favors the hosts, but we are eager to see everything that unfolds this weekend when both teams get on the field.
When:
Saturday, September 30th at 8:00 am ET at Old Trafford

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Manchester United?
Following a dreadful start to September, losing three successive games and conceding 10 goals in the process, Man United have since steadied the ship with two important victories without reply against Burnley in the Premier League and Palace in the EFL Cup.
The Red Devils managed to edge past Burnley with a hard-fought 1-0 win last weekend, but steamrolled a sloppy Palace outfit, with goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial. This helped the EFL Cup holders book their place in the fourth round, where they will face last season’s beaten finalists Newcastle United (who knocked out Manchester City), at the end of October.
Why Bet on Crystal Palace?
Crystal Palace initially made a respectable start to the new Premier League season, accumulating seven points from their first four games as well as hitting four past Plymouth Argyle to progress from the EFL Cup second round.
Palace, who sit just one place and one point behind Man United in the table, have largely struggled to claim positive top-flight results on their travels, as they have only won three of their last 14 away games since the turn of the year, beating relegated duo Leeds United and Southampton last season before securing a slender 1-0 win at Sheffield United on the opening weekend of this campaign.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace
Hodgson has experience of guiding Palace to multiple positive results at Old Trafford over the years, but success on Saturday will be a tall order if they fail to rectify their recent struggles in front of goal.
The onus is on Man United to follow up Tuesday’s dominant showing with a similar performance this weekend. Anything but a victory here would feel like one step forward and two steps back for the Red Devils, but with Ten Hag expected to name a stronger side, we can see the hosts claiming all three points. Go for a 3-0 victory.
Go for a victory for the locals at -176. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $56.82 for a total payout of $56.82.
