"Both Crystal Palace and Man United come into this game on the back of disappointing defeats. Palace were beaten 2-1 at Strasbourg in the Conference League on Thursday - a result that jeopardises their hopes of a top-eight finish - while United went down 1-0 at home to Everton on MNF despite playing against 10 men for the majority of the game."
"The Londoners have enjoyed the better league form in recent weeks and last Saturday's 2-0 win at Wolves saw them climb to fifth. United, who are without forwards Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, are 10th."
