How to watch and follow Crystal Palace v United

The Selhurst Park clash is our fifth league game of the new season and we head to the capital in top goalscoring form, having notched a considerable 10 goals in our past two games, first hitting three against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium before our resounding 7-0 victory in the Carabao Cup over Barnsley in midweek.

Hopefully, another victory will be on the menu for Erik ten Hag's side, and we've got a number of ways for you to follow the action this Saturday.

Here's everything you need to know about our upcoming Palace bout...

HOW TO WATCH: PALACE V UNITED

Our game this Saturday (21 September) kicks off at 17:30 BST at Selhurst Park and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK.

Alternatively, you can join us on MUTV from 16:25 BST for Matchday Live, where we'll have exclusive build-up from our expert panel made up of former Reds Fraizer Campbell and Danny Webber.

We'll then have live radio commentary from south London throughout the game along with updates and interactive content on ManUtd.com and in the United App. Stay tuned across our channels after the game for post-match analysis and reaction from Ten Hag, players and our pundits back in the studio.

TEAM NEWS

There is positive news on the fitness front for the Reds after the early part of the season was beset with injury concerns. Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund were among those in the treatment room, but have been photographed taking part in first-team training.

Ten Hag has also confirmed in recent weeks that left-back Tyrell Malacia is progressing well from a spate of injuries that have seen him sidelined for over a year, but the boss stopped short of naming a precise return date. Fellow left-back Luke Shaw finds himself in a similar position, with the manager noting Shaw's positive progress, but not wanting to speculate on when he might return to action.

Further updates could yet be provided by Ten Hag on Victor Lindelof as we build towards the weekend's action, but the encounter will come too soon for summer signing Leny Yoro, who is continuing his recovery from a foot injury picked up in pre-season.

Our hosts this weekend are expected to be without Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca, having suffered an anterior-cruciate ligament injury and a fractured rib respectively. The Eagles could also be forced to make do without Chelsea loanee Trevoh Chalobah, who has been out with an abdominal injury picked up in training shortly after his temporary switch.

OPPOSITION FORM

Palace finished last season strongly under new manager Oliver Glasner, following the mid-season departure of veteran boss Roy Hodgson, but they have, so far, struggled to carry that form through to the new term.

The Eagles are still in search of their first league win of the 2024/25 season, having faced losses against Brentford and West Ham United before holding Chelsea and Leicester City to a point each.

They have, however, fared better in the Carabao Cup, easing past Norwich City with a 4-0 win in the second round and then advancing past Queens Park Rangers this week, winning 2-1 with a goal from danger man Eberechi Eze against his former club.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS

It will not have escaped the attention of Ten Hag's men that revenge is on the cards after a tough couple of results against Palace in the league last season. The Eagles were victorious both home and away, including the painful 4-0 loss we suffered at Selhurst Park back in May.

There was positivity elsewhere in our meetings with the south London outfit last term, however, picking up a 3-0 win against them at Old Trafford in Carabao Cup this time last year. The trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial — who this week began his next chapter with Greek side AEK Athens — were on the scoresheet on that day, and the former pair will hope to be back among it this weekend.

With scores to settle from the previous campaign, United sitting on 10 goals over the past week and places to gain in the league table, there will be no shortage of motivation for the Reds this weekend.
