Man Utd vs Crystal Palace prediction: Premier League 2018-19 preview, live stream, betting, TV, h2h, team news

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Old Trafford
Kick-off: 3pm GMT

Manchester United cannot afford any more slip-ups this season as they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford today.

Jose Mourinho's Red Devils already sit 12 points off the pace in eighth place, with four defeats - including a damaging 3-1 defeat to rivals Man City before the international break - in their opening 12 games leaving the club in real danger of missing out on Champions League football next season.

Palace have never beaten United in the Premier League, but Wilfried Zaha will be desperate to impress against his former club and break that winless streak - especially with the hosts facing a potential injury crisis in attack.

Head to head

The two sides have met 18 times in the Premier League, with United winning 15 of those games and three draws meaning Palace have failed to register a result so far.

Palace came within 45 minutes of breaking that run last season as they led United 2-0 at Selhurst Park, but the Red Devils completed a dramatic second-half comeback to win 3-2.
