Crystal Palace will host Manchester United in the EPL’s 16th round. After a number of unsuccessful matches Jose Mourinho’s team has finally managed to win. It happened on Sunday, December 11, and the Devils’ competitors were Tottenham, which can be called Man Utd’s rivals for a spot in Champions League zone. This victory should help the Mancunians gain confidence, and in upcoming game against the Eagles Mourinho’s men would probably want to build on the success.
Crystal Palace haven’t lost two EPL games in a row. At first, Alan Pardew’s team had a very qualitative performance at home in the match against Southampton. After that, in a very effective match against Hull City they’ve managed to play draw. After 15 played EPL rounds, Crystal Palace have 15 points in the asset and 15th place in the tournament table of the English championship.
Europa League group stage has ended, and now Manchester United can completely concentrate on inside competitions, mainly EPL. In the championship of England, Man Utd couldn’t win for three games, having had 1:1 draws, but last Sunday at Old Trafford, the Devils managed to win over Tottenham. The Devils currently have 24 points and occupy the sixth place in the EPL.
Man Utd must fix the situation. The gap to the Champions League zone is six points, and it would be great to nullify the handicap during December, and there’s a great opportunity for that, as there will be no top teams amongst the Devils’ competitors.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
