Man Utd v Crystal Palace – Old Trafford 15:00 CET

Team News:

Martinez, De Ligt, Mount and Dorgu are out for United.

Lerma, Mateta, Doucoure and Nketiah missing for Palace.

Formations:

4-2-3-1 for United who look a different team to the Amorim side from the start of the season. Two holding midfielders allow the attackers free reign to counter. Supported by the two wing backs who are often higher up the pitch.

3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 is most likely for Palace who have not been at their best this season. Sales of key men in important areas has affected them.

Statistics:

Referee: Chris Kavanagh (Average cards 3.68 Yellow 0.08 Red)
