EPL: Joe Cole predicts Crystal Palace vs Man Utd

Former Chelsea playmaker, Joe Cole, has predicted that Crystal Palace will beat Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend.

Cole also said he is expecting Eberechi Eze to “dominate” the game at Selhurst Park.

United are back in South London Saturday evening, four months after their humiliating 4-0 defeat in this same fixture.

Erik ten Hag’s side won 3-0 at Southampton last weekend and thrashed Barnsley 7-0 in the Carabao Cup.

Palace on the other hand are yet to win in the Premier League this season.

But Cole told Paddy Power: “They’ll slip up against Crystal Palace on the weekend. It’s a callous game for the United players.

“Palace have so much pace on the counter-attack. They are also at home, which is a notoriously tricky place to go.

“I fancy Eberechi Eze to dominate the game in midfield. Both teams will score, but I see 2-1 Palace as the final score.”
