OLD TRAFFORD, MANCHESTER — Manchester United are bidding to win a 13th home match in a row in all competitions as they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw when these teams met at Selhurst Park on January 18 thanks to a stunning injury-time free-kick from Michael Olise.
Having won three cup matches in the past 10 days, United now turn their attentions back to the Premier League, and a win here will boost their chances of staying in the top four come the end of the season.
Palace, who are 12th in the table, are looking to win a league game for the first time in 2023.

The official matchday programme cover also commemorates those who were lost from among the ‘Busby Babes’.

1 hour 30 mins before KO: There could be some debuts for January signings at Old Trafford today: Albert Sambi Lokonga, on loan from Arsenal, will hope to start in the visitors’ midfield and Naouirou Ahamada may also be involved. For United, Marcel Sabitzer is in the matchday squad and could be a useful option for Erik ten Hag, who is missing Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay to injury.

2 hours before KO: Manchester United are going for a 13th home win in a row in all competitions against a Crystal Palace side who snatched a draw thanks to that amazing Michael Olise free-kick at Selhurst Park last month. Erik ten Hag wasn’t happy with those dropped points, and he wants another victory today.

Man United vs Crystal Palace lineups
Ten Hag has some injury problems in midfield, with Danish star Christian Eriksen ruled out until May and Scott McTominay likely out for another week or so, and the Dutch coach is expected to rotate his side again after resting some players for the 2-0 Carabao Cup semifinal second-leg win over Nottingham Forest.
New loan signing Marcel Sabitzer will hope to be in the matchday squad for the first time and Diogo Dalot could also be back, having been sidelined since the World Cup.
Man United starting XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw — Casemiro, Fred — Antony, Fernandes, Rashford — Martial
Man United subs: Heaton (GK), Lindelof, Maguire, Sabitzer, Malacia, Garnacho, Weghorst, Dalot, Sancho
Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha has been ruled out for Vieira’s visitors with key defender Joachim Anderson also sidelined for another week.
Arsenal loanee Albert Sambi Lokonga could be in line for his Palace debut, along with new arrival Naouirou Ahamada, in what could be a new-look midfield. Jeffrey Schlupp would therefore be free to move further forward and replace Zaha.
Crystal Palace starting XI (4-2-3-1): Guaita (GK) — Ward, Richards, Guehi, Mitchell — Doucoure, Lokonga — Ayew, Eze, Schlupp — Edouard
