Team News and Pre-Match Context
Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, will be demanding a strong response from his squad after their five-match unbeaten run was halted by a disappointing home defeat to Everton. The loss was particularly frustrating as Everton played a significant portion of the match with ten men after an early red card.
United's squad has some injury concerns to contend with. Forward Matheus Cunha missed the Everton match with a knock sustained in training, and his availability remains uncertain. Defender Harry Maguire is also sidelined with an injury picked up prior to the international break. Furthermore, striker Benjamin Sesko is ruled out for a few weeks, though the injury is not considered long-term.
For Crystal Palace, under the guidance of Oliver Glasner, the situation is much brighter. The team boasts close to a fully fit squad, with Cheick Doucoure being their only long-term absentee as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.
What's at Stake at Selhurst Park?
This fixture presents a fascinating tactical battle. Crystal Palace have been in formidable form at home, carrying an impressive 12-match unbeaten league run at Selhurst Park dating back to February. Starting the weekend in fifth position in the table, their adjustment to European football has not hindered their domestic progress.
Manchester United's mission is clear: they must break this formidable home record to get their campaign back on track and keep their own European qualification hopes firmly alive. All the ingredients are in place for a thrilling Premier League contest in South London.
