Is Manchester United vs Crystal Palace on TV? How to watch United Palace live streams, team news

Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United in action during the Premier League match between Fulham FC and Manchester United FC at Craven Cottage on January 26, 2025 in London, United Kingdom.

Watch Manchester United vs Crystal Palace to see if the Eagles can become the latest Premier League side to win at Old Trafford. This guide explains how to watch Man United vs Crystal Palace online via live stream, on TV, and from anywhere with a VPN.

Man United vs Crystal Palace key information

• Date: Sunday, 2 February 2025

• Kick-off time: 2pm GMT / 9am ET

• Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester

• TV channels: Peacock (US) | Optus (Australia) | Fubo (Canada)

• Watch from anywhere: Try NordVPN risk-free

Manchester United may have battled their way to a 1-0 win at Fulham last week and delivered an improved display in their Europa League victory over FCSB on Thursday, but their home form remains a major concern.

The Red Devils have lost four of their six league matches at Old Trafford, including last time out when they were outplayed by Brighton. Manager Ruben Amorim will want to address this poor run as quickly as possible and may decide to play Kobbie Mainoo in a more advanced role after his excellent performance in Europe.

Crystal Palace will also be determined to bounce back after their good run was brought to an end by Brentford last week. Oliver Glasner’s side certainly have the players to cause United problems, especially on the counter and with the pace of Ismaïla Sarr and Eberechi Eze.

Recent history is also on the side of the Eagles as United have failed to score in any of their last three Premier League games against Palace.

Read on for all the information on how to watch Man United vs Crystal Palace live streams wherever you are in the world.

Why is Man United vs Crystal Palace not on TV in the UK?

Unfortunately, there will be no Man United vs Crystal Palace live stream or TV coverage in the UK as this fixture was not selected by any broadcasters.

The reason it is taking place at 2pm on Sunday - often a TV slot - is that United were in Europa League action on Thursday evening and have been granted an extra day to recover. Otherwise, United vs Palace would have been played at 3pm on Saturday, which is governed by the UK TV blackout.

If you're travelling in the UK, you're usual Premier League streaming services may be geo-blocked but you can still watch them by using a VPN, such as NordVPN - more on that below.

Watch Man United vs Crystal Palace in the US

In the US, you can watch Man United vs Crystal Palace on the Peacock streaming service, which is owned by NBC and has multiple live Premier League games each game week.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Team News

Manchester United have made six changes from the side that secured a 2-0 victory over FCSB in the Europea League on Thursday.

Ruben Amorim has handed Alejandro Garnacho an opportunity to impress after he came off the bench in midweek to set up Kobbie Mainoo. Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Lenny Yoro, Amad Diallo and Manuel Ugarte also return after being rested in Europe.

Interestingly, both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been named on the bench so there is no recognised forward in the starting line-up.

Man Utd XI: Onana, Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Fernandes, Yoro, Amad, Garnacho, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo

Subs: Bayindir, Harrison, Lindelof, De Ligt, Hojlund, Zirkzee, Eriksen, Casemiro, Collyer

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has made one change from the side that lost 2-1 last weekend against Brentford as Daichi Kamada comes in for Eberechi Eze, who drops to the bench.

That means that attacking midfielder Romain Esse will once again start on the bench, despite scoring his first goal for the club just minutes after coming on against Brentford.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Mitchell, Lacroix, Guehi, Sarr, Lerma, Munoz, Mateta, Kamada, Hughes, Richards

Subs: Turner, Nketiah, Eze, Schlupp, Clyne, Wharton, Esse, Devenny, Kporha
