It’s been a testing time in recent weeks for Manchester United with inconsistent and largely unconvincing performances. Yet, the 3-0 win away to Everton was their only success in the last five games.

They lost on penalties to Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday and again came under severe criticism for another lackluster display that followed the drab Manchester derby last weekend.

Louis van Gaal really needs to get it right with his team selection as Manchester United have got too much quality in their squad to be playing the way they have so far this season.

The fans will be hoping for a win here and an entertaining match to compensate for the underwhelming performances of recent weeks.

Crystal Palace are not in great form at the moment with three defeats on the bounce and will be looking to recover from a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City in midweek.

The Eagles are seventh in the table and could go within two points of their visitors if they manage a win at Selhurst Park come Saturday.

KEY STAT: Manchester United have lost just once to Crystal Palace in the last 18 matches. (W14 D3).

Team News

A host of first team players are missing for the hosts with Connor Wickham, Marouane Chamakh, Pape Souare and Kwesi Appiah the definite absentees.

Yannick Bolasie (knock), Yohan Cabaye (knock), and Jason Puncheon (illness) are doubtful but all three have been tipped to start on Saturday.

For Manchester United, Paddy McNair, Antonio Valencia and James Wilson are expected to sit out of this one. Wayne Rooney will likely lead the Red Devils’ attack while Anthony Martial plays from the left wing.
