This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy Soccer series.

Game Preview

Crystal Palace couldn't be on a worst run of form heading into this matchup against Manchester United, as they have dropped five games in a row. They are sitting in 14th place and, with three games left, have nothing to play for but their honor. The Red Devils, on the other hand, suffered a disappointing 2-2 draw to Southampton, a result that represented a huge hit in their quest to earn a spot in the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League. Manchester United, however, extended their undefeated streak and are approaching almost 20 games without a loss.

Top Picks

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best Manchester United players this season and, in fact, he should be considered one of the best Premier League players since joining the club during the January transfer window. He has either scored or assisted in 10 of his last 11 appearances, tallying eight goals and seven assists during that span.

Marcus Rashford, Manchester United: Rashford has two goals and two assists in his last five appearances, but he should be getting bigger numbers based on what he's done, racking up 13 shots (four on target), six chances created and seven crosses in his last five games.

  2. Marcus Rashford
  3. Anthony Martial
