The form book is running against Manchester United as they prepare to head to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag's men drew 1-1 at home to relegation-threatened Burnley last time out, meaning they have only won two of their past nine top-flight outings.

In another blow for the Dutchman, talismanic midfielder Bruno Fernandes is an injury doubt despite having never missed a game due to fitness issues since joining the Red Devils in January 2020. It would compound an already considerable injury crisis that could see them missing six centre-backs for the game at Selhurst Park.

There is a sense that Palace might be getting United at the right time. Prior to a 1-1 draw at Fulham last weekend thanks to Jeffrey Schlup's late equaliser, the Eagles had won three games in succession.

A shock 1-0 victory at Anfield served to derail Liverpool's title hopes and Palace will have their eye on another major scalp.

Glasner is also without some key names in his squad with Jefferson Lerma and Marc Guehi not back in full training yet. Midfield star Eberechi Eze is fit to play and he should come straight back into the team.

Crystal Palace predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Henderson (GK) — Clyne, Anderson, Richards, Mitchell — Hughes, Wharton — Olise, Eze, Schlupp — Mateta.

Injured: Johnstone, Doucoure, Lerma, Holding, Matheus Franca, Guehi (doubt)
Suspended: None

Ten Hag's lengthy injury list shows little signs of easing ahead of this game with the majority of his absentees set to miss the rest of the season. it is hoped midfield duo Scott McTominay and captain Fernandes will shake off minor injuries in time to start.

Jonny Evans and Anthony Martial have returned to training and will be assessed but Marcus Rashford is expected to remain on the sidelines. Harry Maguire suffered an injury in training and will not be involved, leaving Ten Hag with huge concerns at centre-back.

Man United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Casemiro, Evans, Wan-Bissaka — Mainoo, McTominay — Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho — Hojlund.

Injured: Malacia, Martinez, Maguire, Varane, Lindelof, Kambwala, Shaw, Martial, Rashford (doubt), Fernandes (doubt),  Evans (doubt), McTominay (doubt),
