Manchester United v Crystal Palace Betting Preview – Premier League 21st May 3.00pm
Palace managed to stave off any concerns about relegation ahead of the final day of the season and they will roll into Old Trafford and give a decent account of themselves probably. Manchester United aren’t going to be particularly bothered about this game as they have to face up against Ajax in the UEFA Europa League in midweek, with a place in the UEFA Champions League at stake as the big prize there.

Manchester United v Crystal Palace Betting Tips
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is frustrated by the timing of this game because the UEFA Europa League Final is just three days later on Wednesday for them. That is where their priority is as they will book themselves into the UEFA Champions League next season if they win that game against Ajax. That’s a much bigger prize than pushing for three meaningless points against Crystal Palace on Sunday. United have won their last three on home soil against the Eagles now, but United’s focus in the league has gone with them having gone only D3 L2 in their last five league games. At Old Trafford this season the Red Devils have gone W7 D10 L1 this season and haven’t lost since their second home game of the season there (against Man City). So they have the resilience and they have four clean sheets in their last seven on home soil. United to win to nil at Bet365 is a price of 12/5 which may have some appeal. United have only conceded 12 goals at home this season in the league and under 2.5 goals Bet365 is a quote of 9/10.
Crystal Palace have won seven of their last 12 games now and they have secured their top-flight status as they romped to a 4-0 win over Hull last time out. That was their big result to book survival. Crystal Palace have failed to score in their last three trips to Old Trafford now though, but if United aren’t going to risk their main players ahead of Wednesday’s game (why would they?) then the Eagles can create some chances in this one. Wilfried Zaha is a quote of 13/5 in the anytime goalscorer market for them with Christian Benteke at 7/5. Away from home this season Palace have picked up a W6 D3 L9 record and they have produced a mixed bag of W4 D3 in their last seven out on the road. Palace have recorded a win in two of their five previous matches against away from home against the current top five in the league (at Chelsea and Liverpool). Both of those wins for Palace were by a 2-1 scoreline. A Crystal Palace 2-1 correct score at Coral is a price of 10/1, the same quote as is on United to win 2-1 result.
