Projected Leaders

Simulations I have run with the pay per head guys at Payperhead247.com project Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Paul Pogba as the players most likely to score (all five players are from Manchester United).

There is a 20.8 percent chance of a draw. In simulations where the game is not a draw, Manchester United, at 68.2 percent, are heavy favorites to beat Crystal Palace, who have just an 11.0 percent chance to win at home.

The leading scorer for Manchester United is Bruno Fernandes with a 39 percent chance of scoring one or more goals. When he has at least one goal, Manchester United has an 86 percent chance to win.

Crystal Palace is reeling and they’re overmatched for this game. Manchester United conceded a goal in added time against Southampton, which cost them two crucial points in the race for third place in the standings. They will come out fired up looking to take it all out on Crystal Palace.
