Manchester United will be aiming for their third consecutive victory across all competitions when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Red Devils come into this fixture off the back of a solid 3-0 league win against Southampton last weekend, followed by a dominant 7-0 demolition of Barnsley in the EFL Cup midweek.
Currently sitting 10th in the Premier League with six points from their opening four games, the 20-time English champions will look to build momentum.
As for Oliver Glasner’s Palace, they had a strong finish to last season but have yet to claim a win in this campaign. Their sluggish start might be attributed to several key players returning late from international duty over the summer.
In their last outing, they clawed back from a 2-0 deficit at home to Leicester City, securing a 2-2 draw thanks to standout performances from Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta—their star players so far.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Crystal Palace vs. Man United predicted lineups, team news
Chadi Riad, Rob Holding, and Matheus Franca are all set to miss out, while Trevoh Chalobah remains a doubt after suffering a minor injury following his last-minute loan switch from Chelsea on deadline day.
Palace have shown some vulnerability at the back, but in midfield, the duo of Adam Wharton and Cheick Doucoure will look to press high and quickly release the ball to forward players, especially the ever-enterprising Eberechi Eze, Eddie Nketiah, and Jean-Philippe Mateta up front.
Ismaila Sarr made an impact off the bench against Leicester, and the creative spark of Japanese playmaker Daichi Kamada could prove decisive in the clash against United. Summer signing Eddie Nketiah, fresh off the mark with a goal against QPR, is likely to lead the line once more.
Crystal Palace predicted XI (4-4-2, right to left): Martínez (GK) — Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Digne — McGinn, Onana, Tielemens, Ramsey — Rogers, Watkins.
Injured: Riad, Holding, Franca, Chalobah (doubt)
Suspended: None
Rasmus Hojlund (hamstring) and Mason Mount (muscular injury) have both returned to Manchester United training ahead of Saturday's Premier League showdown against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Neither player featured in the 7-0 EFL Cup thrashing of Barnsley on Tuesday, with the Danish forward watching from the sidelines as United cruised into the next round.
Although Højlund and Mount are not expected to start against Palace, they trained with the first team on Wednesday and could make the bench as the Red Devils aim for their third consecutive win in all competitions.
In more positive news, Luke Shaw (calf) is reportedly making good progress in his recovery.
Meanwhile, summer signing Leny Yoro is still waiting for his competitive debut after suffering a fractured metatarsal against Arsenal in pre-season. The young defender is not expected back until November, and there’s no confirmed return date yet for Tyrell Malacia, who is recovering from a serious knee injury.
Man United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot — Ugarte, Mainoo — Amad, Fernandes, Rashford — Zirkzee.
Injured: Shaw, Yoro, Malacia, Lindelof
Suspended: None
Crystal Palace vs. Man United prediction
This clash promises plenty of excitement, with goals likely on the menu. Crystal Palace have the ability to put Manchester United under pressure and make life difficult, but it seems that United's firepower up front will eventually see them through.
Palace might feel unfortunate not to have secured a win so far this season, and they certainly have the weapons to unsettle a somewhat inconsistent United side. However, it feels like United's attacking prowess will prove decisive in the end.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-2 Man United
