Man Utd will look to win back-to-back games in the Premier League for the first time this season when they travel to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Eagles are still looking for their first victory of the new campaign.
Match Preview
Crystal Palace Recent Form
Palace have been relatively uninspiring so far in the league as they have drawn two and lost two. The draws came against Chelsea and Leicester and lost against Brentford in Crystal Palace.
They do have two victories to their name in the new campaign as they have progressed in the League Cup by defeating Norwich and Queens Park Rangers.
Crystal Palace Injury News
Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca are long-term absentees for Palace, though there are hopes that Trevoh Chalobah could recover from an abdominal problem that made him miss the Leicester game last week.

Man Utd Recent Form
Things were looking grim for Erik ten Hag and Man Utd when they lost two games in a row against Brighton and Liverpool in the Premier League. The overall performance in the 3-0 loss against the Reds was certainly a cause for concern.
They’ve bounced back in style, though, beating Southampton in the league and Barnsley in the League Cup, scoring 10 goals in those two fixtures.
Man Utd Injury News
Ten Hag has had to deal with a long injury list at the start of the season and Victor Lindelöf, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro remain absent.
However, they have been boosted by Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount to training. The former is yet to feature this season due to a hamstring issue.
