Crystal Palace vs Manchester United prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?

Manchester United‘s push for Champions League spots means they need a win as they head to Crystal Palace on Thursday.

The race for the top four is being fought out in dramatic fashion, with Leicester on the verge of an outrageous collapse—but United also dropping points on Monday night.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side need a win here to put themselves in with a big chance of facing a final day, all-or-nothing Premier League decider against the Foxes.

Palace, meanwhile, are drifting toward the end of the season in neutral. They have suffered five straight defeats and look well off the pace.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will begin at 8:15pm on Thursday 16 July at Selhurst Park.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

What is the team news?

Palace are without the suspended Christian Benteke, as well as injured defensive trio Martin Kelly, Gary Cahill and James Tomkins. Jeffrey Schlupp is also out.
