Team News
Crystal Palace
Manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Borna Sosa remains sidelined. However, there is growing optimism regarding Will Hughes, who is recovering well and could make the squad. The manager managed the minutes of key defenders Marc Guéhi and Chris Richards during the midweek trip to Strasbourg. Consequently, both are expected to start on Sunday.
Manchester United
Rúben Amorim has ruled out three key players for the trip to London. Matheus Cunha remains unavailable, while Benjamin Šeško and Harry Maguire are also out for the immediate future. Therefore, defensive changes are likely, with Leny Yoro set to partner Matthijs de Ligt. Lisandro Martínez is still building match fitness and is unlikely to feature.
Form
Crystal Palace
Palace are enjoying a stellar campaign with 20 points from 12 games. Although they lost to Strasbourg in the Conference League midweek, they were unbeaten in five matches prior to that. Furthermore, Selhurst Park has become a difficult hunting ground for United. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four meetings with the Red Devils and completed a league double over them last season.
Manchester United
United’s form has nose-dived at a critical time. They are winless in their last three Premier League matches. The defeat to Everton exposed familiar failings in breaking down deep defences. In addition, their away record in London is poor. They have won just three of their last 26 top-flight away games in the capital.
Predicted Lineups
Crystal Palace predicted XI: Henderson; Lacroix, Guehi, Richards; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Pino
Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mount, Diallo; Mbeumo
