Crystal Palace take on the visitors Manchester United in the postponed round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 18th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace gradually secured the status of a solid mid-table side in the English Premier League. And this was, of course, the merit of Hodgson, who worked long and meticulously in London. But by 2021, Steve Parish had already become fed up with this, and the owner went to rejuvenate both the composition of the Eagles and the coaching post, when Patrick Vieira replaced the veteran coach. The return of the legendary midfielder to the Premier League in a new role turned out to be good, if not triumphant. But a successful first year had to be confirmed by new successes in the next. And here, exactly, not everything works out for the French. His wards did not fail, but still they have more unsuccessful matches than good ones. What is the “home” elemination from the cup after 1-2 with the crisis “Southampton”. And then another crisis metropolitan club, Chelsea, took 1-0 with the neighboring Eagles.

The starting segment of this season under ten Hag was curious, not without problems and even scandals (and it was not for nothing that one of its results was the early termination of the contract with Cristiano), but, in the “bottom line”, according to the results before a long pause, it was not successful enough - the “Red Devils” were only 5th. However, in December they started with a series of victories in all tournaments, however, with extremely modest opponents, from Burnley to Charlton. Everyone agreed that the real level of Manchester United will show the “Mancunian derby”. And on Saturday with “City” it turned out to shut up the skeptics: the Red Devils took a strong-willed 2-1 with the champion. Another question is how much effort Manchester United has “burnt” for this, and whether this will backfire in combination with a busy schedule.
Unexpectedly, the statistics of recent years are equal: the same number of victories after 6 last official matches - 2 each. In the last season of the Premier League, the parties exchanged "home" 1-0. Crystal Palace are frankly not impressive, but the grandee with “Old Trafford” now seems to be “on fire”. We recommend betting that in this match the victory will go to the Mancunians.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
