As many as eight players could miss Manchester United's clash against Crystal Palace. The Red Devils are hoping to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Everton when they take on Oliver Glasner's side at Selhurst Park later today.
United missed a golden opportunity to break into the top five after falling to the Toffees on Monday night. Now, following Newcastle's victory over Everton on Saturday evening, the Reds find themselves languishing in 12th place.
Ruben Amorim's side still has a shot at securing fifth place this weekend, provided they can overcome the south Londoners and other results go their way. Luckily for United, they've had an extra few days to gear up for the match.
Strasbourg pulled off a stunning comeback against Crystal Palace in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday night. The French outfit rallied from a goal down to secure a 2-1 victory at the Stade de la Meinau, bagging three vital points in their quest for automatic qualification to the knockout stages.

Sesko and Maguire require lengthier spells on the sidelines. The United boss said: "No, Sesko is going to take a little bit more time. Harry, the same. I expect to have Matheus in the next one, not this one."
When asked about whether the Slovenian had suffered a setback during his recovery, he said: "No, it's [going to] take a little bit longer. We are taking care of the injury."

"Borna Sosa will miss this game again, but Will [Hughes] doesn't look so bad, so we're very hopeful that he'll be in the matchday squad," Glasner said. "All others are fine.
"Of course, we came back late, but we already watched Man United in preparation, and that's the rhythm we are in now until the middle of January, and again, we are enjoying it, because that means we are quite successful."
