United are missing plenty of players so need the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to step up.

The big Belgian gets on the end of a long ball forward and nods it over the advancing Vicente Guaita but Martin Kelly is able to clear.

Palace showing early on what they are capable of on the break.

Former United man Wilfried Zaha scurries forward down the left but his cross is blocked well by Diogo Dalot.

Away we go at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace make just one change to the side that beat Leicester - and put Claude Puel out of a job - last time out.

Martin Kelly comes in for Mamadou Sakho.

Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Tomkins, Kelly, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Townsend, Batshuayi, Zaha.

Injury-hit Manchester United are without eight first team players, so forgotten man Fred gets a start in midfield.

Diogo Dalot and Alexis Sanchez also come in, while Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford drop out from the side that drew 0-0 against Liverpool on Sunday.

Youth team players Tahith Chong and James Garner are on the bench.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot, Fred, McTominay, Pogba, Lukaku, Sanchez.

Anyone else get this text message this morning?
