Crystal Palace neither won in first two rounds nor it scored a goal. Manchester United scored five goals, out of which four against Chelsea in the first round. Match between the two teams played at Old Trafford last year had finished as a goalless draw.

Manchester United

Manchester United's big victory over Chelsea in the first round didn’t raise their morale enough to win Wolverhampton in the second round. The team that created so many troubles for Manchester United last season was again the impassable obstacle. They didn’t play that good against Chelsea as the final 4-0 suggests, while against the Wolves they were first to take lead but they failed to keep it. They had a penalty after the home team equalised which Pogba missed. Refreshments for this match could be Pereira and Mata.

Probable lineups Manchester United: de Gea – Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, L. Shaw – Pogba, McTominay, Pereira – Mata – Rashford, Martial

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's biggest problem at the beginning of season is inefficiency. They didn’t score in first two matches and by that it is clear that they didn’t win, but the Place has won one point. They drew at home with Everton 0-0 in the first round and this was not a bad result. In the second round they faced new Premier League member Sheffield United and they hoped that could win, however, they lost by 1-0. Manager Hodgson didn't change the team much after draw with Everton and only Zaha played in the top of the attack instead of J. Ayew. Now, refreshments in the starting line-up could be experienced stopper Cahill and midfielder Schlupp.

Probable lineups Crystal Palace: Guaita – Ward, G. Cahill, Dann, van Aanholt – Townsend, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp – Zaha, Benteke

Verdict:

Manchester United has demonstrated remarkable efficiency but it also showed that can have problems with team that set a strong defence. We expect from Crystal Palace to play tough like they did in first two rounds and given that they have difficulties with goal scoring we forecast that no too many of them will be scored at Old Trafford.
