Meanwhile, Manchester United could be without Lisandro Martínez, Matthijs de Ligt, Patrick Dorgu, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw (illness) and Harry Maguire (illness), but there are no suspension worries.
Quotes
"We are going through a very good spell. A positive spell. We knew we were capable of this," Man United captain Bruno Fernandes said after the win over Palace.
"It's not from there [Michael Carrick taking over], it's from Newcastle on Boxing Day, a while ago. We need to be able to play better football, for us, it's a sign we want to improve.
"The resilience of defending and getting the end result is sometimes very important for the team to understand. The spirit is very high and it will be massive in the next game against Newcastle."

Man United emerged as 1-0 winners over Newcastle in their last Premier League meeting, which was at Old Trafford in December 2025.
