There is a lot on the line for both teams so an end-to-end encounter is expected. Our Premier League betting tips for this match will be taken from Betking and Bet9ja
CRYSTAL PALACE
The return from the World Cup break has not been kind to Crystal Palace as they have lost all the momentum they had started building. A Kai Havertz goal at the weekend was the difference between them and their London rivals Chelsea. That was their third loss on the trot across all competitions having been dumped out of the FA Cup by Southampton in midweek.
The Eagles are now 12th on the log, six points off the top half but with a game in hand. Patrick Vieira will try and rekindle the magic that they started the season with which seem to have waned with the advent of the winter.
Palace have been a bit of a bogey team for Man United in recent seasons but they will need to up their game if they are hoping to pull another upset here.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Man United are on a roll! A thrilling 2-1 win in the Manchester derby at the weekend was the Red Devil’s ninth straight win across all competitions. The win was shrouded in the controversy surrounding Bruno Fernandes’ equalizer with Marcus Rashford adjudged to have been offside but not interfering with the play.
They are now very much in the top four, just a point behind City and with an all-important clash against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday, they could very well make it a free-for-all title race with a win.
Ten Hag has dramatically turned around their fortunes in such a short span. He insists they are taking one game at a time. A win here will see them climb up to second momentarily before City take on Spurs on Thursday. That remains his priority for now but with the Arsenal trip also weighing heavily, it will be interesting to see how he will rotate his lineups for this game.

CRYSTAL PALACE VS MAN UNITED PREDICTIONS
Palace showed some commendable efforts against Chelsea at the weekend but just couldn’t get past the keeper as their struggles in front of goal continued. We expect them to turn up for this one as they have indeed been kryptonite to the visitors in recent years. With Ten Hag expected to rest some key figures, we would have an open-ended encounter here that will see chances on both ends. As such we fancy both teams to find the back of the net @ 1.81 with Betking as the first of our todays betting predictions.
United will be eager to get the job done early in order to give some rest to their key players ahead of their crucial tie at the Emirates this weekend. We, therefore, expect them to go on the attack from the get-go. In their nine-game winning streak, they have scored at least two goals 8 times! A repeat of that here pays @ 1.56 with Bet9ja app and we feel there is value in going with this for our last pick for this clash!
