Crystal Palace vs Man United Prediction: Lineups, Odds and Stats

*Odds are subject to change.

We are in gameweek 13 of the English Premier League (EPL) season, and Crystal Palace will play Man United.

A superb run of form has Palace pushing into the top five, while United strive to climb away from mid-table. A packed house at Selhurst Park awaits a scheduled 12:00 pm kick-off on Sunday, 30 November 2025. 38-year-old Robert Jones is the match referee.

Palace vs Man United Prediction

The form and results point to a tight game. Palace have four draws in six EPL home games, and United have three away draws in six. So, I predict a draw at 3.50 (Betfred).

Previous H2H battles have featured few goals, as both sides struggled to score. So, I also take a chance on both teams to score “no” at 2.37 (Betfred). Crystal Palace failed to score in 0-0 draws at home to Brighton and Sunderland. Last week, United failed to score against Everton.

If you fancy backing a low-scoring match, another angle is under 2.5 goals at 2.10 (Betfred).

Crystal Palace Analysis

Crystal Palace enjoyed an excellent matchweek 12. A 2-0 win at Wolves boosted them to 5th in the EPL table on 20 points (W5 D5 L2). Palace are unbeaten at home in six league fixtures. They boast the EPL’s second best defensive record, conceding just 9 times.

Palace slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Strasbourg on Thursday night. That loss ended their five-match unbeaten run. Oliver Glasner’s team has two wins from three EPL matches in November: 2-0 victories over Wolves and Brentford, plus a 0-0 draw at home to Brighton. A victory at home to United would set the Eagles up for upcoming trips to Burnley and Fulham.

The Palace injury list includes Rio Cardines (groin), Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad (knee), Caleb Kporha (back), and Borna Sosa (knock). But they have no suspended players.

Player in Focus

Ismaila Sarr has three goals and one assist in ten EPL starts, providing vital backup to Jean-Philippe Mateta. Take a look at Sarr over 0.5 shots on target (1.60 at Coral).

Man United Analysis

Man United sit in tenth place in the EPL table with 18 points (W5 D3 L4), two points behind Crystal Palace.

But United’s inconsistent form casts doubt on their top-six chances. They are without a win in three EPL fixtures, including a 1-0 defeat to 10-man Everton last Monday. This setback followed 2-2 draws at Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. Before then, United had enjoyed a superb October with 3 straight wins. The Red Devils toppled Brighton 4-2, snatched a 2-1 win at Liverpool, and overcame Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim’s side head to London before a packed December schedule. But Harry Maguire (hamstring) and Benjamin Sesko (knee) are both out until December. Matheus Cunha should be available after a minor training knock.

None of the Man United squad are suspended.

Player in Focus

Bruno Fernandes is Man United’s captain and heartbeat. With two goals and three assists in 12 league outings, he also takes penalties. So, consider Fernandes to score or assist (2.70 at William Hill).

Crystal Palace vs Man United Possible Lineups

Crystal Palace (3-4-3): Dean Henderson – Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, Chris Richards – Adam Wharton, Daniel Munoz, Tyrick Mitchell, Jefferson Lerma – Yeremy Pino, Ismaila Sarr, Jean-Philippe Mateta

Man United (3-4-2-1): Senne Lammens – Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Matthijs de Ligt – Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Amad Diallo – Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha – Joshua Zirkzee

Crystal Palace vs Man United Head to Head

Crystal Palace hold a narrow H2H advantage against Man United, winning four in ten. However, there’s a clear low-scoring trend. Both teams scored just twice in ten matches, which featured under 2.5 goals seven times.

More recently, Palace won three of the last five clashes, in which both teams failed to score three times, including last season’s 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park.
