Manchester United
Man United will be without Antony (leave of absence) and Jadon Sancho (disciplinary reasons), as well as injured quintet Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia (all muscle), Amad Diallo (knee) and Kobbie Mainoo (ankle).
Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen and Sergio Reguilon were all absent in midweek due to illness but they should be fit to return to the matchday squad on Saturday, and the same can be said for Lisandro Martinez who was not risked due to a minor foot problem.
Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund are all set to be recalled to the first XI, while Sofyan Amrabat – who made his Red Devils debut as a makeshift left-back in midweek – could move into midfield to start his first Premier League game alongside Casemiro.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Reguilon; Casemiro, Amrabat; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Crystal Palace
As for Crystal Palace, Dean Henderson was forced off with a groin injury on his debut in midweek and will join Michael Olise (thigh), Matheus Franca (back), Jefferson Lerma (hamstring) and James Tomkins (calf) in the treatment room.
Odsonne Edouard and Naouirou Ahamada are both doubtful after missing the midweek trip to Old Trafford with respective hamstring and ankle injuries, and the Eagles duo will be assessed ahead of kickoff, as will Jairo Riedewald who picked up a knock against the Red Devils.
The potential absence of Edouard will likely see Jean-Philippe Mateta continue to lead the line, while key playmaker Eberechi Eze is one of a number of Palace players who is set to be recalled to the first XI after beginning as a substitute on Tuesday.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Johnstone; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Hughes, Doucoure; Ayew, Eze, Schlupp; Mateta
Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace
