MANCHESTER UNITED vs CRYSTAL PALACE
Crystal Palace are without injured central defenders Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins.
Gary Cahill could make his debut for Roy Hodgson’s side.
Diogo Dalot, Eric Bailly and Tim Fosu-Mensah are injury absentees while the Manchester Evening News didn’t spot Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Fred, Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian or Alexis Sanchez as the team met before the match.
Fred is working his way back to fitness, while Solskjaer has been using Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof in defence with Axel Tuanzebe on the bench.
That means Smalling and Jones look like they have once again been left out of the squad.
