LiontipsCrystal Palace vs Manchester United. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (January 18, 2023).
Command Analysis
After the fourth defeat in five matches, Crystal Palace dropped to 12th in the Premier League standings. The Londoners have a very tough schedule this month: they just lost to Chelsea, and in the next three games the team will face Newcastle and play Manchester United twice. The Glaziers have been knocked out of both the League Cup and the FA Cup and now can fully focus on their Premier League campaign.
After 18 rounds of match, Patrick Vieira's charges have 22 points from six victories and four draws. On average, Crystal Palace have scored under one goal per game, which is extremely disappointing. In the last five games, they have collected only three points - they prevailed over Bournemouth (2:0).
Ferguson and McArthur are still unavailable for Crystal Palace.
Manchester United's previous trip to the Selhurst Park Stadium ended Ralf Rangnick's term as the team's manager. But we don't think Erik ten Hag has anything to worry about - the Red Devils are on top form, they celebrated success in nine straight games. In the last match, they beat their cross-town rivals Man City (2:1) in the Premier League.
Between two meeting with Palace, Man United will travel to the Emirates Stadium to meet with Arsenal. The team is intent on challenging the current leader - after 18 matches, MU are in 4th place with 38 points from 12 wins and two draws. They are nine points behind Arsenal but are trailing Man City by one point.
Today the visitors will have to cope without Butland, van de Beek, Sancho, Dalot, and Tuanzebe.

Our prediction — Manchester United to win
The United team will probably dominate Crystal Palace - the Red Devils are in excellent form and have won seven Premier League games in a row. A victory will help them overcome Newcastle and Man City, and this should be enough to motivate them. We predict a confident win for MU.
