Manchester United will be looking for a response to Monday night’s disappointing reverse against Everton, when we travel to Crystal Palace this weekend.
The Reds take on Oliver Glasner’s men in Sunday’s 12:00 GMT kick-off at Selhurst Park.
Palace will be tough opponents, having lost just twice in the top-flight so far this term, although this fixture arrives less than 72 hours after their UEFA Conference League tie at Strasbourg.
United, meanwhile, must aim to finish November on a high after our unbeaten run ended at the hands of the 10-man Toffees.
Our five-game sequence without defeat was ended by Everton, meaning we sit 10th at the start of the Premier League weekend, on 18 points.
Palace are fifth, although only two points further ahead. Sunday’s hosts overcame struggling Wolves in their last outing, thanks to second-half goals from Daniel Munoz and Yeremy Pino.
Although they have shared the points in four of their six home games this term, including the recent goalless draw with rivals Brighton & Hove Albion, Palace haven’t tasted defeat at Selhurst Park since a reverse to Everton back in February.
The Eagles also have one of the league’s best defences – only leaders Arsenal (six) have conceded fewer than their nine goals.
Matheus Cunha, Harry Maguire and Benjamin Sesko all missed the demoralising defeat to David Moyes’s men due to injury, and we await updates on the trio from Amorim when he next sits down with the media.
Sesko picked up an issue during the 2-2 draw with Spurs and is ‘out for a few weeks’, while Maguire was also unable to recover from his own knock suffered in north London. Cunha’s absence - due to a training-related problem - is not thought to be serious, but he was unable to feature on Monday night.
Lisandro Martinez returned to the matchday squad against Everton but was an unused substitute, as was Academy prospect Shea Lacey. Casemiro and Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu have both received four yellow cards in the league this season and are, therefore, one more booking away from a suspension.
Palace’s squad availability may change after Thursday, but Cheick Doucoure is still recovering from the knee surgery that curtailed his 2024/25 season.
Marc Guehi returned to the starting line-up for the win at Wolves, after missing England’s final two World Cup qualifiers, while Eddie Nketiah appeared as a substitute after injury.
