After consecutive wins, Manchester United are now 3 games without a win and have taken only 2 points from the last available 9. They are 10th in the table and questions are being raised as to whether Louis van Gaal can save the team from their current slump.
Crystal Palace have slipped down the table with 3 losses in their last 4 and are now only out of the drop zone on goals scored. They need a result here badly but going on recent performances they are unlikely to get one.
Palace won at Old Trafford in the League Cup 3 years ago but United won both fixtures against Palace comfortably last season and should record a much-needed win.
