Manchester United will seek their third consecutive Premier League win this weekend as they travel to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
After a disappointing 3-0 defeat to rivals Liverpool before the international break, the Red Devils have rebounded with commanding 3-0 and 7-0 victories over Southampton and Barnsley, respectively.

This resurgence is building much-needed confidence for Erik ten Hag’s squad as September comes to a close.
However, Manchester United will need to overcome the memories of last season’s trip to Selhurst Park.
They suffered a shocking 4-0 defeat against Oliver Glasner’s side, with Crystal Palace also winning the Premier League meeting at Old Trafford.
This match presents an opportunity for United to set the record straight and continue their winning momentum.
Crystal Palace struggles ahead of the clash
Crystal Palace find themselves in a challenging position heading into Saturday’s match, having failed to secure a win in their first four Premier League games of the season.
Draws against Chelsea and at home to Leicester City, along with two victories in the Carabao Cup, have provided some solace during this difficult period.
The Eagles will be eager to turn their league fortunes around against a resurgent Manchester United.

They are likely to be among the few players retaining their starting spots, with Diogo Dalot potentially being another.
