Domestic cup action headlines the midweek action in England this week, as the third round of the EFL Cup takes center stage. Man United will welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford on Tuesday, just days before the same two sides clash in the Premier League on Saturday.
Before Betting On Man United vs Crystal Palace
The EFL Cup was a successful competition for Man United last season, as they ended their long wait for a major piece of silverware with success against Newcastle at Wembley. There was a widespread belief that the Red Devils would kick on this term, but they are yet to produce a solid outing across 90 minutes across any competition.
However, United at least come into this fixture in fine recent form, as they ended a three-game losing run by picking up maximum points against Burnley on Saturday. But, the Red Devils still looked incredibly light in the final third throughout that match, and there will be pressure on a number of players that will be handed a rare opportunity to shine at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.
Crystal Palace have been a tough nut to crack over the opening weeks of the season, but they are yet to produce an excellent display. The Eagles have been more solid in home matches, as they were easily beaten by Aston Villa in their previous match on the road.
Palace come into this fixture after being held in their most recent fixture, as they were fortunate to take a point from their home match against Fulham. However, playing on the counter attack could suit the Eagles more against Man United, as they have very dangerous players when the ball is turned over.
