Premier League fans would be hosted to three highly-exciting matchups this Tuesday. Our focus for this one will be at Selhurst Park as Palace play hosts to Manchester United. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
The home side recorded a very famous win in the reverse match early this season, beating the Mancunians 3-1 at Old Trafford. In a game in which Zaha was their main man, Palace registered only their second win in seventeen encounters. This obviously points to the Manchester-based side being the dominant side in this fixture.
One and off season for the hosts
Palace have been at the bottom half of the standings for pretty much the whole season. They haven't really put out a decent run all through the campaign with no single back-to-back victory in the league. They played out a boring goalless draw at home to relegation-threatened Fulham over the weekend. Will they manage to do better against one of the sides at the top of the standings?
Big six woes for United
Manchester United, once again, fail to perform against a big six club as they played out yet another 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge Although they had a couple of shots for a penalty, they couldn't break through Tuchel's defence which has looked solid since the German arrived. Nonetheless, they're still in 2nd place and will therefore be looking to hold on to that given that other teams are also vying for the UCL spot.

Manchester United haven been really decent away from home in the Premier League this season. Although four of their last five have ended all square. We don’t expect the Mancunians to blow their opponents away, however, they should secure maximum points.
