Overview
- Kick-off at Old Trafford is set for 14:00 GMT on Sunday as Manchester United look to extend a 10-match unbeaten league run under Michael Carrick.
- Mason Mount is described as getting closer to training, Matthijs de Ligt’s back issue is progressing more slowly, Lisandro Martinez will be assessed over the next day or two, and Patrick Dorgu remains out for weeks.
- Crystal Palace arrive after a 2-0 Conference League win over Zrinjski Mostar, with Jefferson Lerma, Cheick Doucoure, Eddie Nketiah and Jean-Philippe Mateta expected to miss out.
- Palace defender Maxence Lacroix scored on his return in midweek, though his ability to start again so soon is uncertain after a late fitness check from Oliver Glasner.
- Fourth place guarantees Champions League entry this season, with reporting indicating a likely extra European performance spot could make fifth sufficient, heightening the value of United consolidating their position.
