United striker Andreas Pereira is an interested spectator in the Old Trafford directors' box this afternoon.

Pereira has just spent a season on loan in La Liga with Granada, scoring on his final apperance against Espanyol on Friday.

Pereira, along with Adnan Januzaj and Guillermo Varela are all now to discover whether, having played the entire season away from United, manager Jose Mourinho has any future of them next term.

This was almost vintage Wayne Rooney.

The Manchester United skipper collects Demetri Mitchell's long searching ball over the top superbly.

Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is in no-man's land and Rooney goes for the lob from the angle, but gets too much purchase on it and it lands on the roof of the net.

Chants of "Rooney, Rooney" rings around Old Trafford on potentially his last appearance in a red shirt at the venue.

Crystal Palace have never beaten Manchester United in the Premier League.

They will not have a better opportunity to change that than today.

I have gone for a 1-0 win for Sam Allardyce's side. Let's see how it pans out.

Josh Harrop looks a tidy player and is causing Palace some problems with his pace and close control down the left.

Palace break clear and some neat football sees them in on goal.

It's full-back Patrick van Aanholt who is six yards out and about to pull the trigger, but Timothy Fosu-Mensah gets back in the nick of time with a perfectly-timed sliding tackle.

Nice start by debutant Josh Harrop with a gallop down the left flank to earn a corner.

He takes it himself but Palace clear.

Last game of the Premier League season is under way.

So it's the game Jose Mourinho didn't want, on the day he didn't want; the week ahead will determine if it turns out to be the season he didn't want, with events in Stockholm on Wednesday determining whether he has restored the Champions League nights for Manchester United.

Before that, some of his players will get important minutes ahead of the Europa League final and some will get their first experience of the Premier League.

Crystal Palace are just delighted that they aren't heading to Old Trafford full of nerves and in need of some sort of result to secure their top-flight status.

They will be determined that in 12 months time, after a full season under Sam Allardyce, they will be higher up the table.

Here come the players, greeted by a beautiful, warm, sunny day in Manchester (makes a change).

Let's give the last word before kick-off to our MOTD man...

I am in the running for the BBC Sport's Premier League Predictor title, 80 points behind my boss.

He has still got to face Middlesbrough and get a result so I would love it if I beat him, LOVE IT!

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has had another go at the critics who have made light of his side's injury problems in his programme notes.

Former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness is thought to be the man in the firing line for claiming on Wednesday that United's squad is strong enough to cope with fitness problems.

"I have seen it in the football media that certain pundits cannot understand why our players are tired," he said.

"A pundit is not honest if they cannot forget their colours or if they try to hide the truth from their audience. It's not my fault if their managerial career was very poor."

As promised, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has named a number of youngsters in his side ahead of Wednesday's Europa League final.

Goalkeeper Joel Pereira, left-back Demetri Mitchell and midfielder Scott McTominay and Josh Harrop are the lucky ones to be given their full debuts. Axel Tuanzebe and Timothy Fosu-Mensah also start. Wayne Rooney captains the side.

Man Utd XI: Pereira, Fosu-Mensah, Bailly, Jones, Mitchell, McTominay, Tuanzebe, Pogba, Lingardm Harrop, Rooney.

Crystal Palace make two changes to the side that thrashed Hull last time out. James McArthur and Patrick van Aanholt come in for Yohan Cabaye and Andros Townsend.

Palace XI: Hennessey, Ward, Kelly, Tomkins, Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Puncheon, Zaha, C Benteke, van Aanholt.

Here we are then, game number 38 out of 38 in the Premier League season...

...and what an exciting contest we have on our hands.

Manchester United need victory to clinch the Premier League title, while Crystal Palace themselves need to win to stay in the top-flight.*

Straps yourselves in, it is going to be a bumpy ride.
