Manchester United will lock horns with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night, hoping to return to their winning ways in the Premier League. The Red Devils will be heading into the contest on the back of a 0-0 draw with Chelsea, whereas the hosts recorded a similar goalless draw vs Fulham on Sunday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation with a few tweaks from the last game as Anthony Martial looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Crystal Palace
Defence
David de Gea will continue to operate in between the sticks for the upcoming away encounter. The Spanish shot-stopper made some brilliant saves to secure a clean sheet against Chelsea last Sunday, and he’ll be hoping to repeat more of the same this time.
Victor Lindelof will form the centre-half partnership with skipper Harry Maguire at the heart of United’s backline.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a guaranteed starter at the right-back position, whereas Luke Shaw will fill in on the other flank as the left-back. The duo has been in blistering form over the past few months, and they would be looking forward to adding to their streak of impressive performances against the Eagles.
Midfield
Scott McTominay and Fred will fulfil the holding midfield positions, with the former occupying a more defensive role. Scott McTominay put up a strong performance against the Blues as he shielded the backline effectively throughout the ninety minutes.
Bruno Fernandes will slot into the attacking midfield role. The Portuguese playmaker will be looking to add to his goal-scoring tally against Roy Hodgson’s men on Wednesday.
Fernandes will be accompanied by Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood on either side, playing on the left and right-wing respectively. The duo will be looking to use their pace and directness to breeze past the Eagles’ defence.
Attack
Anthony Martial will lead the line for the visitors against Crystal Palace. The French striker has found himself struggling in front of the goal this season, so he’ll be eager to impress against Roy Hodgson’s men in midweek.
Edinson Cavani remains a concern for the upcoming away encounter.
