THE LOWDOWN
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Defeat on Thursday night was a frustrating way to end the campaign on the road for Crystal Palace. The Eagles, by most accounts, have enjoyed a progressive season but losing to relegation-threatened Everton, after leading 2-0 at half-time, has left a bitter taste in the mouth for a few Palace fans.
- Patrick Vieira’s appearance on the touchline for this one is in doubt after the Frenchman was caught on camera kicking out at an Everton supporter who had been taunting the former Arsenal captain following the match on Thursday.
MAN UTD
- This is the final game of this era of Manchester United - or so the Red Devils fans hope. Ralf Rangnick is the seventh man to take charge of a United match since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 and they have not improved, on or off the pitch, since the German took charge in December.
- There is actually serious doubt over whether or not they will finish in the top six. If the visitors were to lose at Selhurst Park this weekend, and West Ham defeated Brighton at the AMEX, then they would fall into the UEFA Europa Conference League place.

THE PREDICTION
Manchester United’s most recent outing came a fortnight ago when they were beaten 4-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion. They still do have something to play for, as mentioned, because they will view UEFA Europa Conference League as below their status - especially in Erik ten Hag’s first season in charge. Crystal Palace, in their final home game of the season, will look to finish what has been a positive season well. The possibility of Eze, Gallagher and Zaha all lining up, potentially for the final time together, could be thrilling. This could be quite an entertaining encounter but Palace, especially given United’s form which is currently just three wins in 13 matches in all competitions, means a home win appears like a good bet.
