THE PREDICTION
Crystal Palace and Man Utd were each forced to settle for 0-0 draws in their most recent Premier League fixtures vs Fulham and Chelsea respectively. Palace have picked up just four points from the last 12 available to them, with the absence of key attacking outlet Wilfried Zaha taking its toll. Man Utd remain in second place, but are now 12 points behind league leaders and local rivals Man City. Their draw vs Chelsea however, extended their club-record unbeaten run away from home to 20 matches. With manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer boasting a squad with far superior strength in depth compared to an injury hit Palace, the Red Devils should be able to get back to winning ways at Selhurst Park ahead of a crucial Manchester Derby next weekend.
