Manchester United - Crystal Palace. Preview: Team new, stats, predicted lineups and score prediction

By -
Manchester United are back in the Premier League action for the first time this season when they welcome Crytsal Palace to Old trafford. After missing out on Matchday one because of their participation in the Europa League last season.
Manchester United had a two-half season last season.


The last season was of two tales for the club. The pre-Bruno Fernandes era where they find themselves in mid-table fighting for European competition and the post-Bruno era is what all United fans will remember vividly and hope their club brings it into the new season.

Manchester United have rather enjoyed a quiet summer transfer bringing in only Donny Van de Beek despite being like with host of players and the Dutchman will be aiming for his debut this weekend in a possible midfield trio partnership with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes

Crystal Palace on the other hand has started the season on a good note, seeing off Southampton on the opening day of the new season and they will want to make it two from two, a feat the club have not managed since the 2006/2007 season.

The motivation they need is just around the corner as they defeat United 2-1 last season, their first win against Manchester United at Old trafford.

Stats:
Manchester United has won more often their openinh fixture in the Premier League than any side.

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last 4 premier League away games vs Manchester Clubs.

Predicted XI.
Manchester United: De Gea, Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof, Bissaka, Pogba, Bruno, Van De Beek, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood.

Crytsal Palace: Guaita, Ward, Dann, Kouyate, Mitchell, Townsend, McArthur, Schlupp, McCarthy, Zaha, Ayew.

Score Prediction: 3-1

Ralf Rangnick proffered a permanent solution but United choose to make more casualties with Erik Ten Hag

Ralf Rangnick appeared to have unraveled the puzzle at Manchester United during his short stint as the club's interim manager but the hierarchy did not take heed to his priceless advice. Albeit the German did not enjoy the best of time in the helm of affairs in Old Trafford, Rangnick, who had proven to be more of a administrative minded man prior to his appointment at the club did left blueprints that could have healed the club completely. Looking back and you'll realize it could have been more worth it had speculations of him becoming the club's Director after leaving the Coaching role come to pass. Even in his early days as a professional football coach, Rangnick did not have a reputation of thriving when the stake is high but he flourishes more in an environment that gives him the avenue to build from scratch. The notion was proven truth during his time at Stuttgart, Hannover and even Schalke, where he helped all these teams finesse nightmares into glamour. His appointme

A sign of what is to come but no excuse for Chelsea's late capitulation in the London derby

By -

Chelsea ended a run of three straight home defeats to Arsenal in an enthralling London derby match in the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. While many will see it as a positive omen for the host, which is rightly so, it was very poor game management by both the players and the manager to allow the visitors snatch a point later on the night. Arsenal was there for the taking. It was the worst display by Mikel Arteta's side in recent years and despite having a two goal cushion, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to see out the win from a very comfortable position. Cole Palmer and Mykaylo Mudryk continue to show signs of finally settling into their rhythm under Mauricio Pochettino, much to the delight of the home support as the Blues were all over their rival from the North for the first 70 minutes in the Bridge. Both players also scored in either half, with Mykaylo Mudryk scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the Stamford Bridge with a wonderful cross-cum-shot, which caugh
