Townsend finds some space and fires in a shot, which is comfortably saved at the near post by Meslier.
Kick-off
There’s an immaculately observed minute of silence, before the players unanimously take a knee. And we’re underway!
Palace boss Roy Hodgson: "Leeds have done exceptionally well. It's a big, big club. I remember them for the Revie days and also from the days of George Graham. I can only congratulate him [Bielsa] and the club for what they achieved not only in getting into the Premier League but starting this season very well. They're going to be a very tough opponent."
TEAM NEWS
James McArthur, Eberechi Eze and Jordan Ayew all start for Palace today, with Milivojevic, Schlupp and Batshuayi dropping to the bench.
For Leeds, Pascal Struijk and Ezgjan Alioski replace Shackleton and Hernandez.
Bruno Fernandes bails Ole Gunnar Solskjaer out of trouble once again as Manchester United defeat Everton
Everton 1-3 Manchester United: Fernandes double helped Solskjaer’s side come from behind before Edinson Cavani struck to secure victory
An angry Ole Gunnar Solskjaer speaks to BT Sport: "We were set up to fail. We've been to Turkey, we've played loads of games already this season, and we're playing Saturday lunchtime kick-off. It's an absolutely shambles. Them boys deserve better than to be thrown at there to fail today. How can they set us up after a Champions League game on Wednesday night. I've had enough. We have to understand how, in these times, mentally draining it is, physically draining it is. It's just a joke."
Five things we learned as Manchester United beat Everton
United ended their dire run of recent results
It’s over to Selhurst Park next, where the pleasure of watching Crystal Palace vs Leeds will cost you a mere £14.95.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will, as ever, do their best to entertain, and they’ll be looking to bounce back from a 4-1 defeat against an impressive Leicester team last time out.
Palace, meanwhile, were beaten at Wolves and will be keen to move into the top half of the table.
That result sees United climb to the dizzy heights of 13th and will probably buy Solskjaer another few weeks in the job. Everton are in fifth, though they could fall depending on other results this weekend.
