Hello and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Premier League meeting between Crystal Palace and Manchester United at Selhurst Park. The sixth-placed Red Devils are aiming to build upon their weekend success over Tottenham and stay within touching distance of the top four. Palace are just three points off the drop zone but are hoping to make it three games unbeaten after a six-match losing streak had placed big pressure on boss, Alan Pardew. Kick off 8pm GMT.

Alan Pardew: "Ten goals in three games but we need to tighten up, Southampton [a 3-0 win on December 3] was the benchmark. Defending is a team duty. Everyone has a responsibility to defend, even the substitutes. That's something we want to improve on. Sometimes our substitutes haven't shored us up as well as they should have. We were pleased with how we defended set-pieces at the weekend, that's one little box ticked. Now we need to get back to Southampton."
