The late match from the Premier League schedule is between Crystal Palace and Manchester United. The truth is, we can't recognize Crystal Palace this season compared to the end of the last one. Exactly in May, by the way, Palace demolished Manchester United at home in the same stadium, scoring four goals.
Looking at Palace's game, this is a team that likes to press, to be in the opponent's penalty area, to be aggressive in their desire to take the ball, only the intercepted passes by Palace are too few for the requirements of their style and this may be a problem. Something happened and probably around the transfer window too many Palace players started thinking about other things, not football, but gradually they will return to their usual level and the question is, whether it will be in this match. Last season Palace did a double over Manchester United and this should not be underestimated.
With the Red Devils, from the beginning of the season the following happens. When they manage to reach the opponent's penalty area at speed, that is, to pull the opponent with play in and around their penalty area, to pass through the midfield and get the ball to their attackers who can use their speed, they are very effective. It just doesn't happen often enough. That's the question: "Will it happen?" In my opinion, no. Palace will manage to close the corridors and my personal feeling is that this match will end in a draw, with goals, but still a draw.
