Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Manchester United and Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
The hosts have enjoyed a brilliant first season under new manager Erik ten Hag, who has led them to fourth in the league while they are still competing in all the cup competitions. After securing their place in the EFL Cup final with a 5-0 aggregate victory over Nottingham Forest, they now turn their attentions back to the Premier League, aiming to win for the first time in three matches.
The visitors meanwhile have not won in four, though those fixtures included clashes with top-four hopefuls Tottenham and Newcastle United as well as big-spending Chelsea. That run also featured a 1-1 draw at home to their opponents here, and they will be looking to take inspiration from that game to achieve another positive result at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Wout Weghorst, Marcus Rashford.
SUBS: Harry Maguire, Marcel Sabitzer, Victor Lindelof, Jadon Sancho, Diogo Dalot, Tyrell Malacia, Tom Heaton, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo.
CRYSTAL PALACE (4-2-3-1): Vicente Guaita; Nathaniel Clyne, Chris Richards, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell; Cheick Oumar Doucoure, Will Hughes; Jordan Ayew, Michael Olise, Jeffrey Schlupp; Odsonne Edouard.
SUBS: Luka Milivojevic, Naouirou Ahamada, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Sam Johnstone, Joseph Whitworth, James Tomkins, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eberechi Eze, Jairo Riedewald.
The two teams make their way onto the pitch at Old Trafford.
The hosts' dominance in the early stages of the first half suggested it could be an easy victory, but Palace dug in to keep themselves just a goal behind at half-time. Can Ten Hag's men kill the game off in the second half?
Thanks for joining us for live coverage of Manchester United's 2-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
The victory for United moves them up to third and consolidates their place in the top four, though Newcastle United in fourth and Tottenham in fifth are yet to play this weekend. For the visitors, their winless run extends to five matches and with teams below them picking up points, the threat of relegation still looms large if they do not start putting points on the board again soon.
