Man Utd vs Crystal Palace: Preview, predictions and lineups | OneFootball

Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Sunday to take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

You wouldn't think it, but United's victory on Thursday night over FCSB means they've won five of their previous six games. Ruben Amorim has achieved on-pitch serenity, and he'll be desperate to see the back of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils' upsurge has eased any fears of getting dragged into a relegation scrap, which were genuine at the start of the year, and United can now look towards surging up the table over the coming weeks.

Last Sunday's 1-0 win at Fulham saw them leapfrog Palace in the table, with the Eagles losing at home to Brentford after enjoying a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Oliver Glasner's side have steadied after a woeful start to the season, and they're searching for another victory at the Theatre of Dreams after winning 1-0 on this ground at the start of last season.

Here is 90min's guide to the Sunday's Premier League clash from Old Trafford.

Ther's bound to be some rotation from Thursday's professional victory, with the likes of Manuel Ugarte, Harry Maguire, and Andre Onana among those expected to return to Amorim's XI.

Amad Diallo featured off the bench in Bucharest and is likely to make up a third of United's attack on Sunday.

There are few concerns on the injury front with Victor Lindelof returning to the fold. There's hope Luke Shaw will soon be fit to return from a hamstring injury after he was spotted in training, but we may have to wait a little longer to see Mason Mount back in action. Jonny Evans is also sidelined.

Chelsea's recalling of Trevoh Chalobah is a big blow for Palace, who'd achieved defensive stability with the Englishman impressing as part of the Eagles' back three. Chris Richards returned to the team last weekend against Brentford, and he'll likely retain his place on Sunday.

Glasner is still without midfield lynchpin Adam Wharton (groin) and Joel Ward (calf), while second-year Brazilian Matheus Franca is yet to feature this season. Cheick Doucoure and summer signing Chadi Riad will miss the rest of the season with knee injuries.

Romain Esse is pushing for a start after scoring on debut last Sunday.

Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Man Utd (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Hughes, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta.

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace score prediction

While United were perhaps fortunate to win at Craven Cottage last Sunday, they produced a measured display in the week and head into this game with a string of good results behind them.

The mood is perkier in the Red Devils camp with Amorim at the helm, and there have been signs of the impressive Portuguese coach leaving his imprint on this United team. They'll be met by a well-drilled Palace outfit on Sunday who could cancel the hosts out while posing a threat in transition.

The hosts may have to dig deep here after their midweek travails, but they should find a way to eke out three points.
