35'
Cabaye curls it towards the far post but Pogba is there to complete a firm defensive header.
34'
Free kick to Palace on the right. It's a great situation. Zaha bundled over by Rojo.
33'
LATEST: Man City lead at home to Watford.
32'
Stunning turn from Zaha bamboozles three United defenders but his low cross is easily cut out.
31'
United aiming to clinch back-to-back league victories for the first time since August here.
30'
Half an hour played and not much to write home about thus far.
29'
Rooney with a first-tine touch towards the run of Zlatan but it's too heavy and the keeper is out to smother. Palace guilty of being caught in possession deep in their won territory there.
28'
26'
LATEST: Fabregas has given leaders Chelsea the advantage at Sunderland.
25'
Lots of talk about United being on the up, but if they lose they will equal their lowest Premier League points tally of 24 points after 16 matches.
24'
23'
Dangerous play down the right from United. Bailly makes an adventurous run forward down the right but his cutback is slid to safety by Cabaye. It had looked like Rooney was about to meet it with a first-time shot.
22'
A spell of niggly fouls isn't helping the flow of this match. Benteke catches Carrick late and gets a talking to from the official.
21'
Lee catches Bailly with a high tackle. Could easily have been a yellow.
20'
United may have had all of the ball but Pardew will be pleased with his team's organisation up to this point. We've had very little in terms of chances.
18'
United are unbeaten in six league games. They have only lost one of their last 10.
17'
Herrera lashes a volley over the bar after Mata's clipped cross from the byline had been flicked into his path. Lovely feet from Pogba to carve out the opening for Mata on the left of the area.
15'
LATEST: Liverpool have taken the lead at Boro while Spurs are 1-0 up at home to Hull.
14'
Benteke almost squeezes through two defenders but De Gea is alert and comes off his line to thwart the ex-Liverpool man. A misplaced pass by Rooney caused United an issue there. Sloppy from the England skipper.
13'
Pogba shoots from 35 yards but it swirls over the top.
12'
He's been quiet so far, but former Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha has been in fine form of late. He's had a hand in seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances (two goals, five assists).
