Crystal Palace XI vs Manchester United – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Crystal Palace travel to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, aiming to become the first London club in over 50 years to win three consecutive away league games against Manchester United.

The Eagles have moved into a period of renewed optimism following back-to-back wins in the Premier League and Europe. Manager Oliver Glasner oversaw a convincing 2–0 European victory on Thursday night and now faces a United side sitting fourth in the table. Notably, Palace have won four of their last six trips to this venue, highlighting their effectiveness as a counter-attacking unit against the Red Devils.

Crystal Palace Team News

Oliver Glasner manages a squad that remains thin in attacking areas but receives a significant boost in defence. Notably, Maxence Lacroix has been passed fit after overcoming a groin issue to score in the Conference League midweek. Consequently, he will anchor a back three that includes Chris Richards and Jaydee Canvot. However, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eddie Nketiah, and Jefferson Lerma all remain out of contention. Notably, goalkeeper Dean Henderson boasts a 75% clean-sheet ratio against his former club, Manchester United, the best of any keeper in Premier League history.

Dean Henderson will start in goal behind a defensive unit that has become increasingly resolute under Glasner. In midfield, Adam Wharton and Will Hughes are expected to anchor the side, with Daniel Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell providing width as wing-backs. Ismaïla Sarr and Evann Guessand will support Jørgen Strand Larsen in attack. Notably, Guessand is pushing for a start after a match-winning cameo against Wolves. Palace have scored in 17 of their 19 away matches this term, suggesting they will pose a constant threat on the break today.
