Preview
Written by Yaro Pavlenko
Spreadex Sports previews the upcoming 2025/26 Premier League fixture between Man Utd and Crystal Palace. The Red Devils got back to winning ways last time out against Everton and in the process moved back into the top four, with Michael Carrick's side now in with a very strong chance of returning to the Champions League.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, currently sit in 13th place in somewhat of a grey zone with Oliver Glasner's side likely safe from any relegation fears, but will need to avoid dropping points where possible to secure a top-half finish.
Who will claim the points at Old Trafford?
When is Man Utd v Crystal Palace? Sunday, March 1st 2026.
What time is kick-off for Man Utd v Crystal Palace? 2pm, UK time.
Where is Man Utd v Crystal Palace being played? Old Trafford, Manchester.
How can I watch Man Utd v Crystal Palace? Live on Sky Sports from 2pm.
Michael Carrick's Man Utd have been the most in-form team in the Premier League since the turn of the year, with the Red Devils seemingly on a rampage to secure a return to the Champions League for next season. After a run of four consecutive wins ended with a somewhat disappointing draw at West Ham, Utd returned to form with an away win over Everton last time out.
Palace started 2026 in very poor form and saw a run of three losses and a draw in their four January fixtures, but February has fared better with the Eagles winning three and drawing two of their six matches in all competitions this month, and will look to make use of momentum after securing passage through to the next round of the Conference League in midweek.
WIN: Everton 0-1 Man Utd. 23rd February 2026.DRAW: West Ham 1-1 Man Utd. 10th February 2026.WIN: Man Utd 2-0 Tottenham. 7th February 2026.

The Spreadex Sports fixed odds Match Odds betting prices have Man Utd as the 6/11 favourites to secure a home victory while our 2 Up early pay out market, which pays out when a team goes two goals up, has the Red Devils at 1/2.
Palace meanwhile are available at 23/5 for the away victory (4/1 on our 2 Up market), with the draw at 17/5.
H2H form of late has been squarely in Palace's favour, with the Londoners winning an impressive three of the last five meetings (one draw), although Utd came out victorious in the most recent meeting. In the last ten meetings though, both sides have won four, with two draws.
Only four of the last ten meetings saw Both Teams Scoring, and you can back Both to Score - No at 6/5 here.
Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Man Utd/Crystal Palace 10.5 - 1.25. This means if Utd won 3-0 (or by any other three goal margin), a 'buy' bet at 1.25 would mean a return of 1.75x your initial stake.
However, if you bought at 1.25 in Utd's favour and the match ended goalless, you would lose 1.25x your stake. Or, if Palace were to grab a 2-1 (or any other one goal margin) win, the market would settle negatively at -1 and a buy at 1.25 would result in a loss of 2.25x your opening stake.
You can calculate various make-ups by using our handy spread betting calculator, found here.
Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3.05 - 3.25. So a 3.25 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 3.05 sell bet would need less than three goals to be scored in the match to turn a profit.
Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3.25 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.25x your opening stake if the match ended 0-0, and so on.
The last meeting of these sides at Old Trafford saw Palace come away with a 2-0 win, and in fact the visitors have won both of their last two trips to Manchester. You can back another 2-0 win for Palace here at 25/1.
We have several pre-built Popular Bet-Builders, including Over 2.5 Man United corners in each half & Over 2.5 Crystal Palace corners in each half - 18/1, Matheus Cunha 5+ shots, Bryan Mbeumo 4+ shots & Bruno Fernandes 4+ shots - 19/4, 1+ fouls by Casemiro & 1+ fouls by Luke Shaw - 6/11 and much more!
Our Price Boosts for this one include Amad Diallo to Score Anytime - NOW 14/5, Bruno Fernandes 2+ Shots on Target - NOW 2/1, Bryan Mbeumo & Bruno Fernandes Both To Score - NOW 7/1 and more!
