The Red Devils now know that Champions League qualification is mathematically impossible, with England not earning a fifth European spot for next season’s premier competition, but Erik ten Hag’s side are still in a promising position to qualify for the Europa League next term. However, after a 1-1 draw with Burnley last time out, confidence can’t be too high.
Crystal Palace are not the easiest opponents for Man Utd as they aim to get back on track, with Oliver Glasner having overseen some significant improvements since taking over from Roy Hodgson. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four matches, including victories over Liverpool, West Ham United and Newcastle.
These two sides have already clashed twice this season, both coming at Old Trafford. The first saw Man Utd win 3-0 in the Carabao Cup in late September, but the London side got their revenge four days later with a 1-0 Premier League victory.

- Last meeting: Man Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace (30 September 2023) – Premier League
Crystal Palace vs Man Utd team news
Eberechi Eze is expected to return for Palace in a significant boost. He was left out against Fulham, but Glasner confirmed after the match that was precautionary after he picked up a knock.
Jefferson Lerma is close to being available again after a hamstring injury, and Marc Guehi could also return for the Eagles.
Marcus Rashford has missed United’s last two games with injury and is a major doubt, while Scott McTominay is in a race to be fit after he suffered a knee issue against Burnley. That could mean Mason Mount is handed a rare start.
Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony Martial are all closing in on a return to first-team action, but it remains to be seen if this match comes too soon.
Bruno Fernandes is a doubt after Ten Hag confirmed a knock for his captain in the Burnley draw.
