Manchester United travel to Selhurst Park on Wednesday night to take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
The Red Devils are second in the Premier League, 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.
They have drawn three of their last five league games, which has stunted their progress in the chase of their city rivals. Manchester City have pretty much made it a one-horse race towards the league title.
Trending
In their last game, United drew 0-0 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They came out of that game with a sense of injustice though. Even after a VAR check, they were not awarded a penalty in the first half for Callum Hudson Odoi handling the ball in the box.
Palace also played out a goalless draw at the weekend against Fulham at Selhurst Park. They were battered, especially in the second half, but managed to hold on for the point.
They are 13th in the Premier League standings, with 33 points from 26 games played. They should avoid getting dragged into a relegation dogfight, as they currently have 10 points more than Fulham, who are in 18th position.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Head-to-Head
United have won 38 of the 58 games that they have played against Palace so far, tasting defeat only nine times in that period.
Crystal Palace won 3-1 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in what was an awful start for the Red Devils. That was United's first game of the season.
