Crystal Palace hosted Manchester United at Selhurst Park. Going into the match, Palace has had a strong recent record against United, seeking their fourth win in five meetings. Manchester United, however, has struggled on the road, winning just one of their last 11 away games.
Oliver Glasner, the Crystal Palace boss, spoke about his team needing to maintain high energy levels and consistency, especially with their European schedule.
Several Premier League games kicked off at the unusual time of 2:05 PM. This adjustment was primarily due to television scheduling. Crystal Palace's match against Manchester United was moved to Sunday to accommodate Palace’s participation in the UEFA Conference League. This shift necessitated moving the other 2:00 PM window games to 2:05 PM to avoid overlap. This change was requested by Sky Sports and approved by the Premier League.
The 2:05 PM kick-off slot has been used 46 times previously in Premier League history, always on Sundays.
Crystal Palace made three changes to their side, with Daichi Kamada, Adam Wharton, and Chris Richards coming into the starting XI. Manchester United also made two changes, with Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot being added to the lineup.
Repeating as Premier League champions is hard -- as Liverpool are finding out. After going five games unbeaten, Manchester United suffered a defeat to Everton raising questions over Ruben Amorim's suitability as manager.
