Latest Crystal Palace vs MU team news
Crystal Palace are facing personnel difficulties with Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca sidelined for extended periods due to injury. Trevoh Chalobah will also be assessed ahead of the match after missing the draw against Leicester.
New signing Maxence Lacroix, who has performed consistently in the last two games, will partner captain Marc Guehi in central defense, while Nathaniel Clyne and Chris Richards will compete for the remaining spot. Midfield is expected to see the return of Adam Wharton and Cheick Doucoure, replacing Daichi Kamada and Jefferson Lerma. Up front, Nketiah is likely to partner Eze and Mateta.
Manchester United are struggling with injuries, with Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, and Leny Yoro all unavailable. However, they received good news with the return of Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount, and manager Erik ten Hag will have to make a last-minute decision on whether to include them in the squad. After making several changes midweek, Ten Hag is expected to return to his strongest lineup, similar to the one that beat Southampton, with players like Andre Onana, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Bruno Fernandes all fit to play.
The upcoming match promises to be highly competitive as both teams are looking for a positive result to improve their position in the league table. Palace will need to capitalize on their home advantage, while United need to showcase their strength with a nearly perfect squad.

Latest football match prediction: Crystal Palace vs MU
Crystal Palace are struggling this season, having yet to win a single match after four rounds, only managing two points from draws against Chelsea and Leicester.
After two early defeats, Oliver Glasner's team showed signs of recovery with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea and a dramatic 2-2 draw with Leicester, in which Jean-Philippe Mateta shone with two goals, including a penalty in the 92nd minute.
In addition, Palace also secured their place in the fourth round of the EFL Cup with a 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers, thanks to goals from new signing Eddie Nketiah and Eberechi Eze. They have shown impressive form in the national cup, hoping to translate that success into the Premier League, starting with Saturday's clash against Manchester United. Last season, Palace beat the Red Devils in both legs, with a 5-0 aggregate score.
Conversely, Manchester United also had a poor start to the 2024-25 campaign, suffering two consecutive defeats against Brighton and Liverpool. However, they rediscovered their form with two impressive wins against Southampton and Barnsley, scoring a combined 10 goals. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are in excellent form, helping the team regain their morale ahead of a packed schedule.
Despite sitting 10th in the table, Man United need to improve their away record, particularly in London, where they've only won two of their last 16 Premier League matches. Crystal Palace have reason to be confident, having troubled United in the past, but with their current resurgence, the Red Devils could end their winless streak at Selhurst Park and come away with all three points.
