Man United vs Crystal Palace: match preview

There's a pageant of new midfielders on show as Manchester United host Crystal Palace at Old Trafford today. The Red Devils signed Marcel Sabitzer to replace the injured Christian Eriksen, while Patrick Vieira completely gutted the Eagles' creaking engine room, bringing in highly rated youngsters Naouirou Ahamada and Albert Sambi Lokonga. Palace have enjoyed a little bit of success at the Theatre of Dreams over recent seasons, but United are one of the form teams in the league right now.

Erik ten Hag's men have lost just one of 14 games in all competitions, winning 12 of those, and Marcus Rashford is arguably the most deadly marksman in the Premier League right now. With 10 goals in his last 12 appearances, he's full of confidence and has the look of a man who could score whenever he touches the ball, whether he's in his own half, surrounded by opposition defenders, or both.

He starts on the left of a three-pronged attack, with Wout Weghorst down the middle and Antony down the right. Anthony Martial, who scored in midweek, isn't in the matchday squad, though Jadon Sancho and the aforementioned Sabitzer are both on the bench. Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Fred start in midfield.

United old boy Wilfried Zaha is out of action with a hamstring injury, but fortunately for Vieira, Michael Olise showed that he's capable of producing big moments in big games with his last-gasp screamer against United in the corresponding fixture a few weeks ago. The jet-heeled Frenchman curled home a beautiful free-kick to rescue a point, one that was much-needed after a barren run of results.

He starts in the No.10 role behind Odsonne Edouard, while Will Hughes and Cheick Doucoure retain their places in central midfield. Palace have been much-improved of late, and the signings of Ahamada and Lokonga, two players with real promise, has given supporters cause for real optimism again. They're both on the bench to begin with.
