Manchester United take on the visitors Crystal Palace in the round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 30th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
The start of the season for Manchester is proving to be challenging due to a fairly large injury list and issues surrounding the team. Sancho is in conflict with the coach, and Antony has been involved in a domestic violence incident, making Erik ten Hag's second season at the helm of Manchester United much tougher than the first. Fortunately, the past week has slightly reduced the level of criticism as Manchester United first defeated Burnley 1-0 away in the league and then crushed Crystal Palace 3-0 in the League Cup with a mixed lineup. Despite all the respect for the Londoners, Manchester should win this match based on their class, especially since it's their second encounter with Londoners in a matter of days.

For the Londoners, who changed coaches during the offseason and brought back the pragmatic Hodgson to the coaching bridge (not for the first time), things are also tough with their injury list, which is full, and they have much less depth in their squad compared to the hosts. The Red and Blues had a 0-3 defeat in the League Cup, followed by a 0-0 draw against Fulham in a derby, and before that, they lost 1-3 to Aston Villa in the closing stages. After the international break, the visitors have seen a decline in their form, which could very well result in a defeat in Manchester. They currently sit in 10th place, a position they were overtaken by Manchester United in the previous round.
I believe that Manchester United, with their superior class, will once again defeat Crystal Palace, which have performed weakly in attack this autumn (only 1 goal scored in their games). Additionally, Crystal Palace lacks the depth in their squad that the hosts have, as demonstrated in their recent League Cup rehearsal. Manchester United will bring speed and pressure that the visitors will find difficult to cope with. Considering Crystal Palace's recent decline and Manchester United's slight improvement during the week, there is a high level of confidence in the hosts securing their third consecutive victory in all competitions. Ahead of the Champions League, it's essential for Ten Hag's team to boost their morale, and this match against Crystal Palace can provide just that.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
