An 11th win in a row is tonight on Manchester United’s agenda when they travel to the capital to face Crystal Palace.
Victory in the Manchester derby has elevated Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils towards an unlikely tilt at the Premier League title and another three points in south London will leave them knocking on Arsenal’s door before their showdown on the weekend.
In fact, United are unbeaten domestically since the first week of October and next up are a Palace side on a three-game losing streak after failing to take their chances in a narrow defeat at Chelsea.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United prediction
Woe betide any team coming up against United right now, Ten Hag’s side have that happy knack of both playing well to win games and winning games when they’re not playing well.
Boasting such a mean defence, they are still vulnerable to Palace’s creativity but the lack of a clinical touch about the Eagles is likely to stunt their chances of a point or three.
Man United to win, 2-0.
