The start of the season in the Premier League for Manchester United has not been up to their usual standards. They have only managed to gather nine points from six rounds, placing them in ninth position. Their current opponent, Crystal Palace, has the same number of points. After two consecutive defeats, the Red Devils secured two consecutive victories. First, they defeated Burnley 1-0 in the Premier League away from home. Then, they achieved a more convincing victory over Crystal Palace in the League Cup, winning 3-0. It seems that Erik ten Hag’s team has found their form and is gaining momentum. Notable losses include Jadon Sancho and Antony Matheus, who are still not training with the team for non-sporting reasons, as well as defenders Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Tyrell Malasia, who won’t be taking the field due to injuries.
Crystal Palace, it seems, will once again have a season as a solid mid-table team in the Premier League. After six rounds, they have nine points, putting them in the tenth position in the table. As usual, the team has low scoring statistics – they’ve scored six goals and conceded seven. In the League Cup this week, Roy Hodgson’s team couldn’t offer much against Manchester United – they managed only four shots on goal, with just two on target. Today, their attacking line will be seriously weakened as their key forward, Odsonne Edouard, who has scored four out of six of Crystal Palace’s Premier League goals, won’t be playing due to injury. Due to injuries, goalkeeper Dean Henderson, midfielder Jefferson Lerma, and defender James Tomkins won’t take to the football field either.
