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.
Manchester United won 3 - 0 over Crystal Palace in the third round of the EFL Cup but this victory was not a good start for Manchester United because it is not certain that they can still win again against Crystal Palace because in the Premier League both of them have almost equal performance even in the standings the difference is only just one point.
Manchester United fans hope that in the future they can perform quite well in the Premier League and have high hopes that Manchester United this season can finish in the top three or four.
Ten Hag looked very satisfied when he got this victory but this pleasure was only temporary because tomorrow Manchester United might face a stronger team and might not be able to win again.
I think Man United improved a bit after they lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The 2 wins they obtained were against Burnley and Crystal Palace became quite important support for their self-confidence. Apart from that, players who had previously been injured were also able to play again, so that will provide many options for Ten Hag in choosing the composition of players and efficient strategy to face their opponents.
The match against Crystal Palace in the Premier League is a good opportunity for Man United to strengthen their steps. They will play at home, so it is very likely that they will get a win, as long as they can keep playing consistently.
Manchester United are now trying to recover from a poor start to the season. Before taking the field against a particular team, they must discuss their strengths and weaknesses and take steps accordingly. When more than one player in a team is injured then the performance of the team is worse because the manager has no extra options but when the manager has extra options then if one of them is bad on the field he can replace him with another player which is the opportunity Manchester United is getting now.
In the match that Manchester United has tomorrow against Crystal Palace, I will definitely be in favor of Manchester United, although there is not much gap between them considering the rank, but still Manchester United is the favorite in this match.
