All eyes on United tonight right ? Or should I say on Palace? Because Palace will play their chance today in order to get points and I'm not expecting United to have an easy game at all , plus , they have home pitch advantage that can count a lot.
As predictions , I think Palace might score first goal

United have been impressive in their last five games. Those games had three home and two away matches, and they did an excellent job getting three points from each match. Who scores first no longer matters in United games lately Hag has learned how to come from behind to win their games. It seems the United are even more productive when they are under duress. They will play their best when they are losing and most often they win those games Crystal Palace won't be an exception even with their home pitch advantage.
Your analysis of how the United team is parading themselves these days is not out of place. They simply don't care who scores, they just want to win.
Had it been this was their mentality at the beginning of season, they would have been atop.
With their performance right now, their fight is more futuristic than present. They just have to finish strong inorder to start well in coming season.
If you look at the table, they have a chance to finish the season on the second line, is that bad? I personally do not remember Manchester United climbing that high in the last few seasons, and it's only the middle of the season. If something goes wrong for Arsenal, we are in for a mad dénouement.
