Manchester United will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park (29/11/2025) kicks off at 12:00 GMT, with The Red Devils aim to get a positive result after the 0-1 loss against Everton on Monday.

Matheus Cunha, whose presence was very missed last game will be sidelined due to his injury. Harry Maguire and Sesko will also be absent because of injuries for this game.

Ruben Amorim said during pre-match press conference on Friday “Sesko is going to take a little bit more time”

“It will take a little bit longer and we are taking care of him”

“Harry is the same. I expect to have Matheus (cunha) in next one [against West Ham on Thursday, not this one.]”

It will be very interesting to wait for the official team line up to see who will be the starting striker in this match after Joshua Zirkzee failed to take full advantage last game against Everton. 

The same question will also be raised for the two no.10s behind the striker. Will Amad Diallo start from the same position as last week, or will he start on the right wing-back like he always has since the start of the season.

Crystal Palace Team Update Against Manchester United

Crystal Palace’s five games unbeaten run was ended by Strasbourg in the UEFA Conference League this Thursday.

Marc Guehi was taken off at half-time as planned to keep him from the recurring injury, while Will Hughes picked up a knock.

Oliver Glasner explained that the move to subbed off Guehi was planned because he couldn’t train for two and a half weeks.

Glasner also said “He had the 90 minutes last week (against Wolves) and, of course, he should play and will play against Manchester United.”

“That’s why we had to manage the minutes, so no issue with Marc.

“Will just overstretch his knee. Let’s see. We will assess him but it doesn’t look that bad”

Borna Sosa is still not available and still has to manage his injury. Other than those three, the home team looks like they are in good shape.

Glasner added that Borna will certainly miss this game but his injury isn’t that bad he hopes that Borna could make it to the matchday squad. All the other squad members are fine and ready for the clash against Manchester United.

How Both Teams Looks Before The Clash

Crystal Palace’s good run of form will certainly boost the mentality of their players. They are very confident and will surely play with less pressure than the United’s players. But they need to be careful, because Man United can give a surprise.

Currently, Crystal Palace are sitting on 5th position in the Premier League table with 20 points after 12 games. With their high confidence and positive momentum still going, they certainly want to show that they are capable on challenging the European slot for next season.

Manchester United on the other hand, will have a slight advantage in this match because The Eagles just finished their mid-week game and the fatigue will surely affect Palace’s players. If United can take full advantage, and avoid errors during the game, they can get a positive result from the away ground. More analysist about Manchester United can be found in Price In UK

Right now, United are in the 10th position on the table. But they just two points away from Palace at 5th. If United manage to win this game, they will move above palace in the Premier League table.

It will be a very interesting match because there are important points at stake.
