Manchester United face familiar foes Crystal Palace this weekend as Patrick Vieira's side head to Old Trafford in Premier League action.

Man United vs Crystal Palace prediction, odds

United have endured a mixed record against Palace in recent seasons, with the Eagles developing into a 'bogey' team for the Red Devils, with two wins from their past three Premier League visits to Old Trafford.

Vieira has steadied the ship slightly in recent weeks with draws against Ten Hag's side and Newcastle United, and up against a team who played in midweek, they will be confident of a solid result in Manchester.
