Crystal Palace vs Manchester United – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Red Devils look to return to sixth position
The reverse fixture way back in September
The reverse league game was played all the way back on the last day of September, and it was a happy trip for the Eagles.
Joachim Andersen hooked a great finish into the top-right hand corner of Onana’s net from ten yards out.
That game’s only goal came in the 25th minute. Will something similar happen tonight?
Erik ten Hag wants to spend more
For the visitors tonight, it’s a crunch encounter in their bid for European football.
If Erik ten Hag stays in his job – and the question marks have been flying for some time now – he wants another big-spending summer to try and help them push up the table and challenge those at the summit.
Starting in 8th place, a win today would move them up to 6th – but a draw would only take them back above Chelsea, after the Blues thumped West Ham yesterday.

Man United eye sixth spot
What better way for the bank holiday weekend to end with a Monday evening Premier League fixture.
Man United’s trip to Selhurst Park could prove a vital one in the race for European qualification, which has been hotting up in the final weeks of the campaign.
Erik ten Hag’s side currently lie eighth in the table but know victory this evening would move them ahead of Chelsea and Newcastle. The Red Devils could also move to three points of a stuttering Spurs side.
Crystal Palace will be no pushovers though with the Eagles enjoying a strong end to the season under Oliver Glasner.
