    Crystal Palace play host to Manchester United in the Premier when the two teams clash at Selhurst Park for Saturday’s late kick off. Both sides are under a bit of pressure after less than ideal starts to the season.

    The Eagles have yet to win in the league this season but consecutive draws with Chelsea and Leicester, plus a victory over QPR in the Carabao Cup have built a bit of momentum ahead of this match. Palace will also remember the 4-0 victory over United back in May and manager Oliver Glasner will feel confident about getting three points.

    For their part, Man Utd have responded superbly to their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. A win over Southampton got them back on track in the Premier League before a 7-0 hammering of in the league cup helped to get some of their strikers on the board with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford both scoring.

    Still, Erik ten Hag will be wary as it has now been four years since United have defeated Palace in London but a win today could kick the team onto bigger and better things.

    HT: Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    Palace are getting ready to bring on Ismaila Sarr as the two teams come back out at Selhurst Park.

    United have been impressive in how they’ve controlled the game so far – can they put the final touches on an accomplished performance so far?

    So, no goals so far but we’ve come pretty close, with both Fernandes and Garnacho hitting the bar and Zirkzee and de Ligt forcing good saves from Henderson.

    Some good chances from the away side, though they’ve been guilty of being a little pedestrian at times, with only Garnacho really making the required runs in-behind.

    Palace’s only chance came from a well-worked move that ended with Eze fizzing in a shot, but he perhaps didn’t know how much time he had.

    We’re in for an interesting second half!

    HALF-TIME: Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    The referee blows the whistle for half-time, and the two teams go in level at the break.

    United were certainly the better of the two teams, but might they come to rue those missed chances?

    Palace grew into the game and had the best period of the game in the final few minutes, but they’ll need to be better in the second half.

    Just one minute of added time at Selhurst Park as Mateta picks up and drives towards goal, but his shot is blocked.

    Palace come again and it goes wide to Nketiah, but his cross is eventually headed away.

    CLOSE! Palace’s best chance of the game as Nketiah shrugs off the challenge from Mainoo and slides in the diagonal through ball to the overlapping Mitchell. The full-back cuts a pass back to Eze, who’s unmarked in the area, but the England man hits a first-time shot straight at Onana.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    CLOSE! United spread the ball wide after god work from Fernandes and Diallo. The Portuguese plays a cross into the area between defenders and ‘keeper, and Zirkzee gets a toe to it, forcing a fingertip save from Henderson as Garnacho scrambled to turn it in.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    Henderson guilty of giving possession away cheaply once more as a clearance goes straight out for a throw.

    United come forward once more, but again there’s a bit of a lack of movement and Mainoo opts for the shot from distance, but it hits Eriksen and goes out.

    Wharton delivers the cross but it hits Amad and the chance ends. The Ivorian is briefly down, but he’s up and okay to carry on.

    United play it out from the back in a more commanding fashion this time, but the chance ends as Fernandes’ looped cross goes straight to Henderson.

    Palace try and mount an attack and they end up winning a foul as Eze’s ball hits Mazraoui’s hand. An opportunity for the home side to deliver a dangerous set-piece here.

    Eze crosses in, and Zirkzee heads away for a corner.
