Crystal Palace have averaged 3.18 goals per game in their matches under Oliver Glasner, and this season have seen both teams score in three of their four matches.

Man United, meanwhile, have kept only three clean sheets in their last 15 games in all competitions. They have, however, scored in 11 of their last 13 away games.

Excluding their games against Arsenal and Liverpool, United have now scored in 21 of their last 22 games. Across their last 22 Premier League away games, they have seen 64 goals, an average of 2.95 goals per game. Nine of their last 12 league games on the road have seen both teams score.

Nketiah has fouled in both of his appearances for Palace this season, fouling three times against Leicester on his Premier League debut for the club, and fouling once in their midweek EFL Cup tie at QPR, although he was subbed off after 64 minutes.

In his last eight starts for Arsenal in 2023/24, Nketiah committed two or more fouls on five occasions. Across his final 10 starts for the Gunners, Nketiah fouled at least once in all 10.

He is matched up against Kobbie Mainoo, who has been fouled more than any other United player this season, winning nine fouls from just four starts.

Fernandes has taken 13 shots across his four United games so far this season, hitting six against Fulham and five when facing Southampton. He can be consistently relied upon to shoot, having had a shot in seven of his last eight games against today’s opposition, Palace.

The United skipper may have only taken one shot against both Liverpool and Brighton, but we expect United to create more opportunities here than they did against either of those two opponents.

The Portugal international averaged 2.57 shots per 90 last season, taking at least one shot in 31 of his 35 games. He looks highly likely to clear this line of two or more shots.

This fixture has a long history of cards with an average of 3.74 being shown per game.

So far this season Palace have collected at least one card in three of their four games but have averaged 2.0 cards per 90 minutes. There have been over 2.5 cards handed out in three of their four games with the other game seeing just two cards.

Meanwhile, United games this season have averaged an enormous 5.0 cards with all four seeing at least three cards dished out. The Red Devils have seen a minimum of two bookings in all four Premier League matches this season.

David Coote is the referee, and he has averaged 5.33 cards from his three games this season, whilst in Premier League this only gets higher, jumping up to 6.40 per game.

Fernandes has taken at least three shots in 13 of his last 20 starts for Man United in all competitions. He averaged 2.57 shots per game in the Premier League last season, and has hit five and six shots in a single game already this season, against Southampton and Fulham respectively.

The United skipper has now taken at least one shot in seven of his last eight games against Crystal Palace, and at least two shots looks highly likely. If United can pile on the pressure then a third shot looks entirely possible, and worth taking at a price of evens.

Mitchell has had three shots from his four starts this season, which, including games from last season makes it 10 shots in his last 10 games. He has registered at least one shot in eight of this 10.

His wingback role means he is able to get into the final third much more than in the more traditional full-back slot which he played under Roy Hodgson. Mitchell ranks joint-sixth in the Premier League for total number of crosses into the box (21), again highlighting how high up the pitch he plays these days.

United also like to play with attacking full-backs, which could offer space for Mitchell to exploit.

Whilst never being a regular starter, Eddie Nketiah does have strong fouling pedigree, averaging over 2.0 fouls per 90 in all but one of his last six seasons with Arsenal. In the one in which he missed out, he still committed 1.83 fouls per 90.

The young forward has now played twice for Palace, committing four fouls across the two games, and three on his league debut for the Eagles against Leicester.

He has a strong matchup in Kobbie Mainoo, who has won an impressive nine fouls in his first four games this season. Nketiah does not shy away from a battle, and neither does Mainoo, so fouls going both ways between these two would not be a surprise.

Eberechi Eze is the focal point of the Palace attack, and while recently it may have been Mateta getting the plaudits by applying the finishing touches, you will be hard pressed to find a Palace foray forward that did not feature Eze.

He is averaging 3.65 shots per 90 so far this season, his numbers increasing in the absence of Michael Olise as Eze shoulders more of the attacking burden. He has taken at least three shots in all four games this season, hitting five or more twice.

His final six games of last season saw him clear this line five times, falling one shot short once, but taking five or more shots on three occasions. That means he has now covered this line in nine of his last 10 Premier League starts, and he has every chance to do so again here.
