Palace are stuttering a little bit this season and are probably missing Olise’s influence, however still a tough game as they are probably due a result.

I think it’ll probably be the same team as against Southampton. Although Garnacho has probably done enough to start, so he may come in for Amad. Also Eriksen may be knackered, so Casemiro/Ugarte to come in. I think Ugarte may continue to be eased in though.

Got to win this and keep this tiny bit of momentum we are building. Lose this and that little bit of optimism will be quickly deflated.
 
Anderson and Olise are big losses for them.

Mateta back in the goals last weekend having come back late from the Olympics. Eze is the danger man need to make sure he doesn’t get time and space on the ball to start dribbling into dangerous areas.

They absolutely thumped us last season the 3-4-3 they played absolutely took us apart. Hopefully ETzh has an answer to it this time around.

Guessing line up wise it will be similar to Southampton.

Probably get Ugarte in from the start ahead of Eriksen maybe Garnacho over Amad after his goals midweek.

Be interesting to see if any of the injured players are ready to return.
 
Eze has looked poor in the bits I've seen of Palace this season.
 
Garnacho has to be starting. He's a consistent goal threat. That's 4 goals in just under 300 minutes this season and really should be 5 but for the ridiculous offside.
 
I think he needs to Start, him and marcus are currently major goal threats.

6 if you include his open goal miss vs Fulham.

All his goals off the left I think so who drops out for him?

I really like what Amad brings to the side in terms of keeping the ball rather than just being super direct.
 
He had a great chance for a third on Tuesday, but blazed it over the bar. He's scoring and getting chances, so for me he has to start.

Thank you, I looked on the app too...doh

Unfortunately he was a bit vague on hojlund though. I was thinking of captaining him
 
Don’t see Hojlund starting my guess is bench today then maybe a start midweek against Twente in Europa.
 
I'd make few changes.

Onana

Mazraouri De Ligt Martinez Dalot

Ugarte Mainoo

Garnacho Bruno Rashford

Zhirkzee (Hopefully Hojlund)
 
Eriksen continues. Rashford makes way for Garnacho.

Onana

Mazraouri De Ligt Martinez Dalot

Mainoo Eriksen

Amad Bruno Garnacho

Zhirkzee

Hojlund and Mount make the bench.
 
I think Eriksen will be horribly exposed in this game.

3 games in a week is a lot to ask I think he will get the run around against a decent side.
 
Eriksen was great the other night but that’s more his level now, picking him for this could be a big mistake.

Ugarte could start this too, Erik is very annoying at times.

Well that's an odd decision to drop Rashford just as he's found form

I'm going down the old fashioned line of why change a winning team unless it's absolutely necessary. ie injury/suspension etc
 
Zhirkzee has to do better there. Should be winning by at least 1 here.
 
How aren't we winning this! You'd expect Bruno to put that away with his quality.

Garnacho looked like he'd done everything perfectly but for the bloody cross bar. Rashford may have found some form but Garnacho is just the better player now days.
 
This is much better than last season, much more what I expect

Zirkzee and Amad might be lucky to see the second half

Eriksen been excellent
 
We’ve been fantastic so far but a mixture of good keeping and the woodwork has kept us out!

Need to keep up this intensity in the second half because there were signs at the end Palace were finding their feet slightly.

There is no doubt we have improved this season but got to improve our finishing at times.
 
Should be at least two up Palace have been really bad, can’t see them not improving second half.
 
One of the best halves of football under Ten Hag. United should be out of sight if it wasn’t Brad Friedel in net.
 
Hopefully Hojlund is fit enough for half hour. I'd expect Hojlund Ugarte and Rashford shortly
 
Only saw bits and pieces but need to cash in when on top
 
First save you expect, second was excellent.

Got a feeling this is going to be one of those games. We can't afford to drop points no matter how well we're playing
