Hello and welcome to our LIVE commentary of Manchester United's trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Rivals Manchester City are now 15 points clear of United, so it is realistically all about securing a second-placed finish this season - something that will be greatly helped by victory over Palace tonight. Palace are all-but safe, but have been very unpredictable of late. Makes tonight a tough one to call!

HEAD TO HEAD: Palace have won two of their last three league meetings with Manchester United (L1), as many as they had in their previous 27 against them. The Eagles are looking to complete their first ever league double over the Red Devils. United have never lost in 11 Premier League away games against Crystal Palace, the most one side has played at another without ever losing in the competition (W8 D3).

CAVANI AND HENDERSON START, STILL NO ZAHA: The big news for United is that Dean Henderson is given a start in goal, with David de Gea missing for "personal reasons". Edinson Cavani also makes his return to the starting XI as one of four changes from the weekend draw at Chelsea. It is still too soon for Wilfried Zaha to make his comeback from injury for Palace. James McCarthy comes in for Jairo Riedewald as their only change from the side held by Fulham.
