I don't know if it's true or not, but the rumor circulating is that the match between Crystal Palace vs MU will be postponed until next year. but if the match between MU vs Crystal Palace happens then MU will definitely win. So far, MU is superior to palace (Head to Head), especially now that we have started to find the best strategy for MU, then surely MU will win smoothly.
Manchester United still has the potential to secure points and keep consistency stable
After the postponement of the Crystal Palace vs Manchester United match, next Manchester United will host Leeds United in the 8th week of the EPL
Manchester United have a chance to get rid of Brighton in the standings if they can win the match against Leeds United. Brighton will struggle because their next opponents are Liverpool and Tottenham.
Leeds should be easily to defeated by Manchester United in match 8, as the Red Devils performance in the EPL is getting better, Manchester United already have what they needed in head of sir Ten Hag. You're right Brighton will be difficulty when match versus Liverpool, as the hosts have a lot of time at least 12 days is more than enough to recover, after match v Chelsea. So the chance of getting rid of Brighton is greater for Manchester United in the standings later.
