Key Factors
Manchester United are on a 10-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, having secured 16 points from the last 18 available under Michael Carrick.
Crystal Palace suffer from significant fatigue and squad depletion, having played a high-intensity Europa Conference League match just three days prior (Feb 26).
United's sustained high shot volume (avg xG ~1.72) is likely to overwhelm a Palace side missing their primary attacking outlets, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eddie Nketiah.
Injuries & Absentees
Manchester United face a defensive crisis with Patrick Dorgu, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez all expected to miss out, likely forcing Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire into the starting XI. However, Crystal Palace are arguably harder hit; they are missing their top two strikers (Mateta and Nketiah) and midfield engine Jefferson Lerma, which significantly blunts their counter-attacking transition threat.
