Manchester United will look to continue their charge towards UEFA Champions League qualification on Sunday when they host Crystal Palace in the English Premier League.

United manager Michael Carrick has steered them towards Europe’s most elite competition, having seen his side go unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League games.

His unbeaten tenure has seen Sunday’s hosts climb into the top four, where they remain after victory over Everton, on Monday night.

They have taken more points than any other Premier League side over the last 10 gameweeks and will arrive here having dropped points only once under Carrick.

Crystal Palace likely have little more than pride to play throughout the rest of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

They stopped the rot against rivals Brighton three Premier League games ago, following a winless run of nine Premier League matches.

Manager Oliver Glasner’s side will arrive here having needed all 90 minutes to squeeze past bottom-of-the-table Wolves last weekend, who had a player sent off just over the hour mark.

What are the best bets for Man Utd vs Crystal Palace?

Man Utd to win with -1 handicap

Both sides are enduring campaigns that are a far cry from what they experienced last season, with United challenging for European football and Palace, well, just existing.

Sunday’s hosts suffered their worst Premier League season in their history last season, but are now back at the top and challenging to qualify for the Champions League once again.

Palace, meanwhile, must have done a deal with the devil to win the FA Cup last season, as they have seen both club captain Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze depart Selhurst Park.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has picked up a mysterious injury off the back of a January transfer window in which he made clear his desire to leave the club, whilst Glasner is also leaving South London at the end of the season.

With all this in mind, I am taking Manchester United to win this match comfortably. Back the hosts to win with -1 handicap.

Bryan Mbeumo to score or assist

Bryan Mbeumo has been involved in at least one goal in all but one match under Carrick, so back him to score or assist in this match.
