Manchester United head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 away win against Burnley in their last league encounter.  In that game they had 38% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Burnley who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Old Trafford.  

They have had an excellent run of form at Old Trafford recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.

Crystal Palace had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Fulham.  In that game they recorded 51 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 10 shots on goal.  

Roy Hodgson will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.  

Odsonne Édouard will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Crystal Palace.
