Manchester United face a tough test on the road this afternoon as they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
A miserable evening against Everton on Monday saw a run of five games without defeat come to an end for Ruben Amorim’s side after what was perhaps their worst display of the season.
United missed the presence of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha that night but that was no excuse for the insipid performance. A repeat of that today and things could get very messy for the visitors in south east London.
Palace, two points ahead of today’s opponents, have not lost at home to United in six years and have lost just one of the last seven league meetings.
Oliver Glasner will hope defeat to Strasbourg on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League hasn’t taken too much out of his side.

Predicted Man Utd XI to face Palace
Tony Mogan
With no Cunha or Sesko with Joshua Zirkzee struggling on Monday night, we suspect Mason Mount could come in and play a false nine role today.

Why Matheus Cunha is not playing today

Matheus Cunha was expected to lead the line in the absence of Benjamin Sesko against Everton but a minor head injury suffered in training ruled him out on Monday night.
The Brazil international has not recovered in time to feature today, but Ruben Amorim is hopeful he will be back for Thursday’s game against West Ham.
