Manchester United hosts Crystal Palace in round 15 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, December 5th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Manchester United is in 7th place in the standings with 21 points after 14 matches. The Mancunians gained six victories and three draws and suffered five losses. The transition period in the camp of the Red Devils has come to the end, and it is connected with the dismissal of the head coach Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer. Prior to the appointment of Ralf Rangnick to this post, Michael Carrick served as a coach in three matches. Under Solskjaer’s former assistant, Manchester United defeated Villarreal in the Champions League (0-2), tied against Chelsea (1-1), and beat Arsenal at Old Trafford (3-2) on December 2. In the match against the Gunners, the Red Devils had to win back due to a quick goal from the visitors. The hosts were able to turn the game around due to a goal in the locker room from Bruno Fernandes and a brace of indefatigable Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2nd half.

Patrick Vieira's team is ranked 11th in the Premier League standings with 16 points. Crystal Palace chalked up three victories, seven draws, and four defeats in 14 rounds. Before the November break in the Premier League, the Eagles had a 6-match streak without defeats, but then their results significantly worsened. The Glaziers shared points with Burnley (3: 3) and lost to Aston Villa (1-2), and on November 30, they were weaker than Leeds at Elland Road (1-0). The Glaziers were close to a draw but conceded the only goal from the penalty spot in the 93rd minute.
The dismissal of Solskjaer had a beneficial effect on the results of Manchester United. Rangnick, who finally starts working with the team, is unlikely to change anything in the game of the Mancunians until Sunday. For this reason, the Red Devils can only hope that the drive that has appeared will continue in the next game and Ronaldo, who has gained good shape, will keep on scoring goals. Most likely, Manchester United will upset the opponents’ goalkeeper at Old Trafford. Their attack breached the defense of all opponents in seven home matches, except for the game against Manchester City (0-2). On the other hand, the match versus Arsenal once again demonstrated the vulnerability of the Red Devils in defense. Despite the decline in results, Crystal Palace may create problems for Rangnick's team.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
