A total of six changes sees Crystal Palace's team transformed from the side that started Tuesday's defeat. Former United goalkeeper Dean Henderson was forced off with a groin injury on his debut, so joins Odsonne Edouard, Michael Olise, Jefferson Lerman among those consigned to the sidelines. In Edouard's absence, Mateta continues to lead the line up front; Johnstone returns in goal, while playmaker Eze is recalled to the first XI.

Making four changes to the side that saw off Palace in their cup clash, Ten Hag most notably brings in young winger Pellistri for his first Premier League start. Lisandro Martinez and Sergio Reguilon miss out - alongside Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and several others - as Man United's injury woes continue. Mount recovered from a hamstring problem to feature in midweek, though, and now starts his first league game for over a month, partnering Casemiro in central midfield.
