Man United vs Crystal Palace predicted line-ups: Team news and injury latest ahead of Premier League clash

Paul Pogba may have cost Manchester United two points on Monday with his missed penalty, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brushed it off. 

The 1-1 draw against Wolves was not a terrible result overall, but United certainly could have taken maximum points from Molineux. 

Crystal Palace are in trouble though, without many goals in the team, a disgruntled Wilfried Zaha, who failed to get his big move and Roy Hodgson now under pressure. 

On paper, it should be a routine United victory? 

Here’s our prediction, predicted line-ups and all you need to know about the game. 

Predicted line-ups 

Man United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, McTominay, Pereira, Mata, Rashford, Martial

Crystal Palace: Guaita, Ward, Kelly, Dann, Van Aanholt, Townsend, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Zaha, Benteke

What time is the match?

The match kicks-off at 3pm BST on Saturday 24 August.

Where can I watch it and is there a live stream?

Man United vs Crystal Palace will not be shown live in the UK due to the TV blackout restrictions on Saturdays between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. 

You can see whether the game is available in your region to watch or stream live here. 

Provisional squads

Manchester United provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Wan-Bissaka, Young, Jones, Maguire, Lindelof, Rojo, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Shaw, Darmian, Chong, Garner, Gomes, James, Fred, Lingard, Matic, Mata, McTominay, Pereira, Pogba, Greenwood, Sanchez, Martial, Rashford.

Prediction

Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford look to have given United a cutting edge in attack. 

While Paul Pogba is now capable of controlling things from deep, despite his penalty blunder. 

Palace look blunt in front of goal and United should have too much here. 

Our prediction: Man United 2-0 Crystal Palace

Odds

Man United: 1/3

Draw: 4/1

Crystal Palace: 8/1

Team news 

Diogo Dalot is out with injury, joining Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah on the sidelines. 

Palace are without Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins. Gary Cahill could come in for a debut.
