Manchester United though have been inconsistent with their results since the start of the season but I think they stand a better chance of win their English Premier League game against Crystal Palace ahead of their opponents and that's because of their superiority in terms of quality of players in both teams.
Though Manchester United defeated the same Crystal Palace in the EFL cup in on Tuesday, it doesn't mean that they're automatically gonna win the weekend's match against the same team. EFL cup and the EPL are two different competitions and I also expect Crystal Palace to try take something away from the game.
Erik Ten Hag will focused on weekend's game which we all assumed to be tougher for the Red Devils at Old Trafford. Crystal Palace boss, Roy Hodgson is experienced, who knows if he can turned the game around to the favour of his team. Manchester United grab a winning against Crystal Palace in the carabao cup, they will meet the eagles again this weekend, this time is EPL and not EFL. They're both different, and based on high standards, every coach would want to reach significant positions in EPL because it's the ultimate target for every English club out there.
You are right. Sometimes we can even see a difference in a club's performance when playing in the EFL and in the Premier League. So Crystal Palace's defeat in the EFL should not make Manchester United careless in the Premier League match. Because the Crystal Palace coach, Roy Hodgson, will definitely be more careful in matches in the Premier League. But I think Erik Ten Heg would also definitely have the same thoughts. And yes, he will definitely focus on this match. Because after all, Manchester United currently really needs points in the Premier League.
