Ruben Amorim's Man United will be looking to get back on track when they travel to South London for a very tricky Premier League clash with high-flying Crystal Palace.
Amorim saw his side's five-game unbeaten run snapped in shambolic fashion on Monday night when they fell to a 1-0 defeat to an Everton side down to 10 men for more than 75 minutes at Old Trafford.
The result eroded much of the optimism around the club and sees United now three games without a win. A win at Selhurst Park would be a huge boost but games do not come much harder in the league right now.
Only leaders Arsenal have lost fewer league games than Palace (two) and they are unbeaten at home in over nine months. However, their UEFA Conference League loss at Strasbourg came just 64 hours before Sunday's midday clash so fatigue could be a factor.
Will United take advantage of Palace's schedule and get a much-needed win or will the Eagles continue to fly? AllSportsPeople brings you the latest tips and predictions for this match.
Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United prediction: Who will win?
Crystal Palace's last loss at Selhurst Park came in mid-February, a league run that stretches 12 games.
On the other hand, United have won just one away game this season, albeit it did come at Anfield - the third league defeat of the horrible run threatening Arne Slot's job as Liverpool manager.
They have earned three draws on their travels though while no one has more in the league this season than the Eagles (five). Another one looms.

Crystal Palace vs. Man United Final Score Prediction
These two sides played out a goalless draw in this fixture last season but that was when Erik ten Hag was still in charge and Palace were not the formidable side they are now.
We're backing a repeat of the result but with goals this time. United will probably be happier with the results which says a lot about the two clubs' current status.
