Sat Sep 21 16:51:30 UTC 2024: ## Palace Host Manchester United in Crucial Premier League Clash

**London, England** – Crystal Palace and Manchester United clash at Selhurst Park on Saturday in a pivotal Premier League encounter for both sides. Both teams are seeking to rebound from less than ideal starts to the season.

Palace, yet to win in the league this season, will be aiming to build on consecutive draws with Chelsea and Leicester, and their Carabao Cup victory over QPR. Their 4-0 victory over United in May will serve as motivation, and manager Oliver Glasner believes his team can secure three points.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have recovered well from their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. They secured a win against Southampton and followed it up with a resounding 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the League Cup. However, it has been four years since they’ve defeated Palace in London, making this a crucial test.

Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager, is wary of the challenge. He is emphasizing rotation within his squad, citing the need to manage a busy schedule. He also highlighted Palace’s attacking threat and aggressive style of play.

The history between these two teams is rich, with 66 meetings dating back to 1922. United holds the overall advantage, with 41 wins to Palace’s 12. The most recent notable meeting was the 2016 FA Cup final, which saw United emerge victorious.

Ahead of the match, both managers have emphasized their respect for the opposition while expressing confidence in their own team’s abilities. Ten Hag is looking to build on the momentum from recent wins, while Glasner is focused on securing their first league victory of the season.

The match kicks off at 5:30 pm BST and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
