On Saturday, the unbeatables Manchester United will carry forward their winning streak, while Crystal Palace will continue their struggle.
The Red Devils were unbeatable in their previous five games. Their game form and strategy is pretty peculiar that makes them apart from the rest of the teams. Anthony Martial has scored in each of his last five league games and will be looking to join the illustrious company of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eric Cantona by scoring in six consecutive games. In-form Anthony Martial has returned to training after pulling out of France’s two international fixtures. However, United could be without some first-team players, with Antonio Valencia, Victor Lindelof, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku all doubts. Diogo Dalot has also returned to training.
While Crystal Palace has never beaten United in the Premier League, but Wilfried Zaha will be desperate to impress against his former club and break that winless streak – especially with the hosts facing a potential injury crisis in attack. The team’s current struggles should be kept in the context of last season, when they sat bottom of the table at this stage of the campaign, but they were just three points worse off then despite having lost their opening seven games of the season without scoring a single goal.

Manchester United:
De Gea, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Martial, Sanchez, Rashford.
