Erik ten Hag’s side have not won away from Old Trafford in the Premier League for more than two months, with United stumbling towards the end of the season in what could be the Dutchman’s final few weeks in charge of the club.

It remains to be seen whether Ten Hag keeps his job, but a draw at home to Burnley last time out did little to lift the mood.

There will be no Champions League football for United next season - sixth appears to be the best finish they can hope for.

Oliver Glasner has led Palace away from the relegation battle and the Eagles will be full of confidence, having taken 10 points from their last four matches.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Crystal Palace vs Man United is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off time on Monday May 6, 2024.

Selhurst Park in London will host.

Crystal Palace vs Man United team news

Eberechi Eze is expected to return for Palace in a significant boost. He was left out against Fulham, but Glasner confirmed after the match that was precautionary after he picked up a knock.

Jefferson Lerma is close to being available again after a hamstring injury, and Marc Guehi is expected to be back in first-team training this week.

Marcus Rashford has missed United’s last two games with injury and is a doubt, while Scott McTominay is likely to miss out with a knee issue he suffered against Burnley. That could mean Mason Mount is handed a rare start.

Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony Martial are all closing in on a return to first-team action, but it remains to be seen if this match comes too soon.

Crystal Palace vs Man United prediction

Palace won at Old Trafford back in September and they will be eyeing a famous over United.

Every team gets plenty of chances against Ten Hag’s side, who have shown little interest in tightening up despite playing with near enough a non-existent midfield every week.

With Palace clicking into gear recently and United continuing to produce poor performances, the Eagles are well-capable of piling more pressure on Ten Hag.

Crystal Palace to win, 2-1.
