Garnacho magic and late Antony drama - Crystal Palace vs Man United simulated to predict score

With any hopes of a Champions League spot now officially over, Manchester United will now focus on trying to secure a place in the Europa League when they take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League tonight.

Antony grabbed his first Premier League goal of the season in United's last outing, but Erik ten Hag's side couldn't pick up three points as they drew 1-1 with Burnley. The draw meant that United have only won one of their last seven 90-minute matches - and that was the 4-2 victory against bottom-of-the-league Sheffield United.

Next up for United is a trip to Palace, with the Eagles finding their feet under Oliver Glasner in recent weeks. The last meeting between the two saw United fall to a 1-0 loss at Old Trafford, and while Palace will be looking to do the double over United, three points will be vital for Ten Hag's side as they look to secure a top six finish.
