Pundits disagree on Crystal Palace vs Man Utd score as 'absolutely terrible' key man identified

Manchester United travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday (kick-off at 5.30pm) as Erik ten Hag's side look to continue their fine goalscoring form.

The Reds beat Southampton 3-0 in the Premier League last weekend before thrashing Barnsley 7-0 in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. United will be looking to make amends for last season's 4-0 defeat at Selhurst Park when they return to face the Eagles this weekend.

Ten Hag's team have been boosted with several first-team players returning from injury. Striker Rasmus Hojlund could make his first appearance of the season whilst Mason Mount may also return against Oliver Glasner's side.

And pundits Paul Merson and Chris Sutton have disagreed in their predictions for United's trip to London. Merson has backed a 2-2 draw whilst Sutton believes United will nick a 2-1 win.

"I think this will be an entertaining game," Merson told Sportskeeda. "There will definitely be goals in this one. If Manchester United win, they can pat themselves on the back because that would be a great result. I’m going for a high-scoring draw though. Manchester United will definitely have a go at the Eagles and it will be a very open game."

United have been further boosted by the return to form of Marcus Rashford. The Reds' academy graduate has netted three goals in two games.

"I hope Marcus Rashford is back to his best now. He played well against Barnsley," Merson added.

"Rashford will either score goals or he will be absolutely terrible, there’s no in-between for him. I have a feeling he’ll score against Palace."
