Manchester United are flying, and on Wednesday they face strugglers Crystal Palace.
The Red Devils have won nine straight matches in all competitions, with five of those victories coming in the Premier League. Their torrid form has boosted them into fourth place in the league standings, although they are tied on points with third-place Newcastle despite having played one fewer match.
United's most recent victory was their biggest of the season thus far — they defeated cross-town rivals Manchester City last weekend in a result that had big implications for the title race.
Now Erik ten Hag's men look to continue their winning ways against 12th-place Palace, who have lost two league matches on the trot. Ten Hag stressed that his players will be focused on the task at hand despite the emotional high of their derby win a few days previous.
''I think [after] every win, you have to celebrate. You work so hard for such momentum. Every win that is so great in top football, if you can't celebrate, I think you kill the energy as well," the United manager said.
"So we have to celebrate it, but after it, we have to settle down and after 24 hours, move on and go to the next game. Then you get in the right rhythm. Every third day, we have to deliver and the players have to get in the right rhythm from a physical point of view, but also mentally and be ready for the next game and that is against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.''
