Manchester United - Crystal Palace: Form Analysis
Manchester United will be feeling good about themselves after an impressive 2-0 victory over FCSB in midweek to earn qualification and a seeding in the last 16 of the Europa League.
However, the Red Devils will need to bring their European form back to the domestic league where they have been inconsistent, winning just three of their last 10 games since early December.
The hosts have been especially poor at home of late, losing four of their last five league games at Old Trafford while conceding two or more goals in each of those defeats.
Man United have not won consecutive league games since the arrival of Ruben Amorim!
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have been one of the most improved teams in the top flight over the last couple of months, having lost only two of their last 12 games since late November.
However, their most recent defeat came last weekend when they were beaten 2-1 by Brentford at home, a result that ended a five-match unbeaten run dating back to Boxing Day.
Still, the Eagles have been very good on the road in recent times, unbeaten in seven straight (W4 D3 L0) - they also scored two or more goals in five matches during that time.

Manchester United & Crystal Palace Squad Analysis
Amorim has a relatively fit squad at present, though there are question marks over the availability of Manuel Ugarte, who was forced off in the victory over Fulham after a tackle on Adama Traore.
As far as confirmed injury absentees go, there are just two ahead of this match in the form of Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, while Marcus Rashford is still exiled from matchday squads.
Kobbie Mainoo delivered an excellent performance, netting United’s second goal in midweek, and he may be deployed in a more advanced role again at the weekend.
Will Amorim opt for Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee to lead the line?
Crystal Palace were dealt a blow last week, with Chadi Riad sustaining a devastating knee injury in training that has ruled him out for the remainder of this season and a large chunk of next term too.
The Moroccan international adds to a Palace injury list that already features the likes of Matheus Franca (rib), Adam Wharton (groin), Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Joel Ward (calf).
