Manchester United are fourth in the Premier League after the first two games of the season. They'd probably be glad if the season ended now as that'd get them back into the Champions League. They have four points so far but it could have been six but for a missed penalty on Monday. They started the season with a 4-0 home win over Chelsea and then took the lead at Wolves on Monday. Neves equalized for the home team in the second half and then came that penalty miss. United will be confident of three points from this game. They have never lost a home Premier League game to Crystal Palace and not conceded in the last six.

It's almost a tradition now that Crystal Palace make a slow start to the season. This is the third time in a row it has happened and the Londoners have just one point from their two league games. Their preseason wasn’t the easiest with Aaron Wan-Bassaki sold to Manchester United and worries over Wilfried Zaha leaving. Thankfully for them, he stayed but has made little impact this season. Nor have Palace with a goalless home draw against Everton followed by a 1-0 loss to Sheffield United.  Another bad loss here might just put Roy Hodgson's job in danger. The tip for this game is a home win for Manchester United.
