Manchester United’s top four push continues with the visit of Crystal Palace on Saturday, with Erik ten Hag’s side on a high after reaching the League Cup final.
The Red Devils sealed a 5-0 aggregate semi-final win over Nottingham Forest in midweek and now must turn their attention back to Premier League matters.
Despite their cup success, United have only picked up one point from their last two games in the league – and that came against Palace.
They face the Eagles once again at Old Trafford, two weeks on from their last meeting, with the Londoners looking to end a five-match winless run in all competitions.
Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
