35 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
A good first have by Palace ace Munoz who's galloping up and down the right flank like a proper wing-back.
But what an impressive front three Mateta, Eze and Olise have formed.
Dangerous in the attack and also compact when applying pressure high up on the pitch.
33 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Palace's high pressure is causing Man Utd's backline all sorts of problems.
The visitors can't find space to move or pass, this is where they really miss Fernandes.
30 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Man Utd look dangerous when attacking but vulnerable when they find themselves defending.
Eriksen always targets Casemiro during set-pieces and that creates danger for Palace in those situations.
28 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Chance!
Oh my, Mainoo gives the ball away and Olise leads another Palace attack.
However Onana gets to the forward and prevents the worst for Man Utd.
27 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
No goal
Man Utd have a goal chalked off as a corner by Eriksen from the left finds Casemiro at the far post.
The Brazilian gets the header and the ball goes to the back of the net.
However, Hojlund was deemed to have fouled Henderson on his goal line.

Chance
Man Utd get their first opportunity of the match as Eriksen delivers a free-kick a few yards off the box and catches a deflection as the ball just misses the crossbar.
23 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Chance
Another opportunity for Palace and Olise.
Munoz plays the ball from the right to the other side where Mitchell is waiting.
The wing-back passes back to Olise who tries another shot, stronger than the last one, and Onana picks it up comfortably.
21 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Chance
Crystal Palace star Olise moves the ball forward again, opens it up for Munoz on his right and the wing-back gives it back to the forward.
The Frenchman tries a weak shot that is cleared by Evans right in front of Onana.
20 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Casemiro is playing out of position at centre-back but tried to emulate his actual position at No6 when he moved forward to midfield to mark Olise before the goal.
Mainoo filling in well for the Brazilian in midfield as he finds spaces but just can't g et the ball to Hojlund.
18 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Worst case scenario has come true for Man Utd.
However, United are now getting more of the ball and are especially dangerous down the right with Dalot and Antony with the former switching places with ex-Palace star Wan-Bissaka.
15 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
This is how the two teams look like tonight at Selhurst Park:
Crystal Palace in their signature home jersey and Man Utd with their away white kit.
12 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
What a start and what a goal for Crystal Palace!
Olise picks the ball up in midfield and absolutely embarrasses Casemiro with some incredible footwork.
The forward moves the ball forward, arrives on the edge of the box and delivers a clinical shot that hits Onana's bottom left corner!
12 Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Goal!
Olise opens the scoring for Crystal Palace!!!
10 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
Crystal Palace are a whole different outfit with Olise and Eze who link perfectly with Mateta.
Sort of brings back memories of the Zaha days...
Palace are more dangerous when attacking thanks to the aforementioned duo who are showing great tempo and dribbling ability.
8 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
A lot of wasted passes from Man Utd in the opening few minutes.
United are struggling to complete three passes in a row - nervy start.
5 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
Palace have enjoyed a strong start with high press on Man Utd's defence.
The Eagles like their chances tonight amid United's ongoing injury hell.
4 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
Referee Jarred Gillett is wearing a camera in tonight's Premier League match.
Gillett will only wear the kit as part of filming "for a one-off short programme promoting match officials".
2 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
Penalty shout
Well, not so much as Mitchell goes down while under pressure by Evans.
It's a little clumsy but never a penalty.
2 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
And another quick reminder:
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has gone for a 3-4-3 formation with only one change to the team that drew at Fulham two weeks ago.
Dean Henderson starts in goal against his former club with Nathaniel Clyne, Chris Richards and captain Joachim Andersen teaming up in defence.
Daniel Munoz starts at right win-back with Tyrick Mitchell on the other side, while Adam Wharton and Will Hughes link up in midfield.
Michael Olise, Jean Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze, who replaces Jordan Ayew spearhead the attack.
1 Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
Here's a quick reminder:
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation with two changes to the team that drew with Burnley at Old Trafford two weeks ago.
Andre Onana starts in goal with Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back and Diogo Dalot on the other side, while captain Casemiro and Jonny Evans, who replaces Harry Maguire, team up at centre-back.
Christian Eriksen and Kobbie Mainoo link up in midfield with Mason Mount replacing Bruno Fernandes at No10.
Antony and Alejandro Garnacho start in the wings with Rasmus Hojlund leading the attack.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd
Peep!
Off we go in London!!!
Here come the teams!
Selhurst Park is ready to host the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
Palace captain Joachim Andersen leads his team-mates out to the pitch.
Casemiro fills in for Bruno Fernandes and dons United's esteemed armband tonight.
Not long to go now...!
Mateta on fire
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has also helped his new players improve.
And one of the greatest examples is Jean-Philippe Mateta who has been on fire ever since Glasner's arrival in February.
The striker has scored in each of his five home Premier League appearances under the Austrian tactician.
In fact, the Frenchman has netted a total of seven goals during that period.
Glaring Bruno Fernandes absence
Manchester United will be without their captain Bruno Fernandes tonight at Crystal Palace.
Fernandes is sidelined with an unspecified problem and that is a major injury blow for United.
That is because the playmaker has scored seven goals in his last six appearances across all competitions.
Casemiro will be donning the Red Devils' armband in the Portugal international's absence.
Oliver Glasner effect
Crystal Palace's new manager Oliver Glasner has turned things around during his short stint in charge.
Glasner replaced Roy Hodgson in February and has since won four of his 10 matches, of which he lost three.
However, under the Austrian tactician Palace are unbeaten in their last four league matches, of which they won three.
That is the Eagles' longest such run of the season that saw them struggle beforehand.
The hosts are now aiming for a third consecutive home win in the top flight for the first time since 2022.
