Overview
Palace take the field with confidence following their win against West Bromwich Albion at home in their last league fixture. On loan winger, Thomas Ince opened the scoring for the Eagles before Joe Ledley made it 2-0 in the 27<sup>th minute.
Thievy Bifouma pulled one goal back for the visitors early in the second-half. But Marouane Chamakh restored the home side's two-goal lead from the penalty spot after he was adjudged to have been fouled by Ben Foster inside the box. Tony Pulis's side currently sit 15<sup>th with 26 points having played 25 matches perched just two points away from the relegation zone.
United have failed to register a win on their travels in their last four matches in all competitions and are on a winless run of three matches in the league. Their previous fixture ended in a goalless draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier this month.
The reigning English champions are placed seventh in the league table with 42 points and are well off the pace to defend their title. David Moyes's side are 15 points behind leaders Chelsea.
The Glaswegian will be desperate to guide his side to at least a top four finish this season and a performance worthy of three points against Palace could be just what he would be seeking from his players.
What Managers Say
Tony Pulis: "This is one of the stellar games. They are a great football club that had been dominated and run by probably the greatest manager in English football history. The changeover was always going to be difficult. There was never any doubt in my mind about that. But David Moyes is the right man. They have got to be patient and they will be. United are a class football club."
David Moyes: "You can talk about whatever you want, but results are what matter and you have to think about where Crystal Palace were and where they are now, Tony always has his sides well organised and well drilled. The players are made well aware of how he wants them to play and what's expected from them. He's had great success throughout his career. He's been a really successful manager in the Premier League."
