Watched Man U v Saints last night. Saints, with nothing to play for, just chased and harried Man I for 96 minutes and got a point. It will be interesting to see us in action (for want of a better word) against Man U. Will we chase and press them all over the pitch and worry them out of winning? Man Utd will be playing us, just 3 days after their game last night.They also have an FA Cup Semi-Final against Chelsea a few days after our game. Edited by Willo (14 Jul 2020 9.30am)

The double over ManU would be tasty, but can't see it somehow - On the other hand this is Palace & you never know what you're gonna get.

Even then Soton went through a phase when they needed to get their breath back during which time they conceded two goals and could have conceded more. They got a second wind and came back strongly. Our old men can't be expected to press for more than a few minutes, otherwise it would give Roy a coronary. Edited by doombear (14 Jul 2020 10.07am)

The one thing I thought last night was Rashford v Ward Greenwood v PvA and Martial v Sakho/Dann . I actually think we're capable of snuffing out their midfield through pure doggedness, but our defence looks so vulnerable and slow right now. The only chance we have is if our front three play the game of their lives and we somehow outscore United.

No, we dont have the energy to with our ageing squad

I predict that they will score anywhere between 3 & 6 goals against us.
