    Bank Holiday Monday night @ 8pm. Live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

    One of the most dynamic and exciting teams in the league comes to Selhurst Park. Man United are also playing.

    Sounds like we may have Guehi, Lerma and Eze back, who would ordinarily all slot straight back into the starting line-up, but Richards, Clyne and Hughes have all been so good over the last four games it seems harsh to drop them. I'd probably just bring Eze back in and give the other two 20 minutes off the bench.

    Henderson
    Clyne Andersen Richards
    Munoz Hughes Wharton Mitchell
    Olise Mateta Eze​

    COYP! :clap:

    I would've agreed in the past but we've actually won one and drawn two of our last three home games against them (and beat them away this season) so we've finally got that monkey off our back. It wasn't long ago we hadn't beaten them in the league since 1991.

    If Eze and Olise are both fit I honestly think we'll smash them. Should be a great atmosphere under the lights.

    The players at United have downed tools, and they are already not good enough yo give anything other than 100%. You will beat us for sure.

    Genuinely feel I would disappointed if we win by less than 4. Do I need to see a doc?

    Bruno doubtful and Rashford out.

    Don't blame them for bottling it tbh.

    United have won more games than Palace, lost fewer games than Palace, have more points than Palace, scored more goals than Palace and conceded fewer goals than Palace, Monday night should be an absolute piece of cake.

    I still make Palace favourites though, because United's entire squad with the exception of a few youngsters is already on the beach.

    If Palace can retain the level they've been playing at in recent times think they'll win this match.

    Game prediction: 2-1 Palace.

    Worst case scenario is ten Hag brings Martinez in when he's not really ready, and he breaks down again and misses another 6 months.

    I can't see another win in the next 4 League games . . . :shrug

    I've never been more confident of smashing Man United in my lifetime, which probably means we'll have a man sent off in the first five minutes and lose.

    Lovely weather for it.

    Yeah need make sure not to underestimate them Kirbs they are still the favourites for this game and they'll want to win and try build some confidence and momentum for the cup final. Players playing for places for the Wembley game as well so added incentive to put a shift in. I still believe you can get something but you need to play well.

    Bookies actually have us as favourites which I’ve never seen in my lifetime.

    Yeah we're 5/4 with Man United 15/8. Makes sense on form but still bizarre to see.

    Hopefully we'll surprise them with our intensity like we did against Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle.

    That's the spirit .

    Good chance for the younger / 2nd string squad players to shine & management / coaches to save their what should be untenable jobs .

    Palace look great with Glasner in charge & if the 2 wingers & big fella up front are all fit & playing fancy a home win .

    No idea why they pick our games to trial all this shit. Done the same earlier in the season with the Asian ref who was so bad he dropped back down the leagues a week later.
