Warm-ups well underway
Less than ten minutes to go until we are underway at Old Trafford.
Here are the two sides limbering up ahead of the 3pm kick-off...
Rash in a rush to play with Rasmus
Marcus Rashford says he is "super excited" to continue to form his relationship with Rasmus Hojlund.
The £72million summer signing leads the line for the Red Devils this afternoon, with Rashford on the left.
And the England star said: "I am honestly super excited about it.
"At times last year, we were going on counter-attacks and we would just see shirts of other bodies, and usually, the only cut-back that was on was to Bruno [Fernandes] who was arriving later.
"Whereas this year, you have to understand the dynamics have changed, so we have spoken to each other and done a little bit of work off the pitch, probably that the coaching staff don't even know, between [just] me and him.
"I just want to understand his game and for him to understand my game as quickly as possible. So far it has been good and we obviously had the unlucky one at Brighton that got disallowed, but then in the following game we've got one where we have combined for a goal, so I am very happy for him.
"I'm sure it is a relationship that will help both players, so I am excited for it, excited for the future and I am also so excited that we have so many games coming up because we have so many opportunities to show who we are."
Berba confident of home win
Former United striker Dimitar Berbatov reckons his old side will run out victorious at Old Trafford.
The Bulgarian told : “No surprises here - they've just played each other, but United need to get the momentum going and win again.
"Otherwise, they'll lose it and fail to climb the table.
"It's a must-win, and they've already shown they can beat Palace.
"I'll go with United to win. Manchester United 2-1 Crystal Palace.”
United fans out in force
The Red Devils are aiming for a third win on the bounce for the first time this season.
Erik ten Hag's side beat Burnley 1-0 last week and followed it up by dumping Palace out of the Carabao Cup.
And their supporters are clearly anticipating another victory this afternoon.
Eze the danger man for Eagles
Unsurprisingly, Eberechi Eze is the danger man for Palace today.
He is joined in attack by Mateta, Ayew and Schlupp.
- Palace XI: Johnstone, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Hughes, Ayew, Eze, Schlupp, Mateta
Amrabat at left-back again
Loanee Sofyan Amrabat starred against Crystal Palace in midweek.
And he keeps his place on the left side of defence in the absence of Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Sergio Reguilon.
Man Utd XI to face Palace
Mason Mount is back in the starting XI.
- Onana, Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Amrabat, Casemiro, Mount, Pellistri, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund
Who are the star men?
Marcus Rashford is yet to rediscover his form from last season.
But the attacker remains United's most dangerous player and will have a big say if he's in the mood.
