Manchester United visit Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening as Erik ten Hag's men aim to move up to second in the Premier League.

After a promising run just before the World Cup break, Palace have returned to action in poor form with the Eagles losing four of their last five Premier League matches, as well as being dumped out of the FA Cup by struggling Southampton.

The hosts are offered at 7/2 (4.50) with bet365 to claim a win while the visitors are offered at the healthy-looking price of 4/5 (1.80) with the draw at 11/4 (3.75).

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United first goal scorer odds

The form of Marcus Rashford has been key to United's excellent run and having netted in each of his side's last eight matches the England striker is offered at 11/2 (6.50) to break the deadlock.

Bruno Fernandes and Anthony are both available at 13/2 (7.50) while Palace's top scorer this season Wilfried Zaha is priced at 8/1 (9.00) to open the scoring against his former club.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United preview

Scoring goals has been a problem for Palace this season and their total of 17 strikes in 18 Premier League games is one of the lowest in the division.

United's defensive record meanwhile has improved massively since the start of the campaign with the side picking up six clean sheets in their last 10 league games.

With only three goals conceded in their last seven league encounters, the visitors will be confident of keeping a goal-shy Palace side at bay, and opposing the hosts to get among the goals should appeal.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United tips and predictions

United are priced at 11/8 (2.37) to keep a clean sheet which looks like an attractive option, while the visitors can be backed at 2/1 (3.00) to win to nil.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
