Manchester United can move closer to securing a top-four finish in the Premier League when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are on 50 points after playing out a 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, taking them six clear of the fifth-placed Blues but they are now 15 behind runaway leaders Man City.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Preview
Man Utd look set to qualify for the Champions League but their recent form of two wins in seven Premier League games could be somewhat of a concern for the Old Trafford faithful.
Also potentially worrying for Solskjaer’s men is that they have managed only four clean sheets in 14 matches against teams in the bottom half this season, which could open the door for the Eagles on Wednesday.
Indeed, Palace have scored in all but one of the seven home games they have played against teams above them, netting a total of 10 times in those fixtures.
