Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Man Utd vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot is expected to be out until after the international break and joins fellow defenders Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah on the sidelines. Summer signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to face his former club.
Crystal Palace have no fresh injury concerns but are still without James Tomkins - who sustained a groin injury at the end of last season - as well as Mamadou Sakho (knee). Former England international Gary Cahill could make his debut for the club.

Everyone was getting excited about Manchester United after the 4-0 win over Chelsea but they got a bit of a reality check in the second half on Monday Night Football at Wolves, who are a good side.
I thought Paul Pogba would leave but it doesn't look like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is preparing for that, unless he decides to rock the boat.
United have pace up front with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, but are pretty average in midfield. Scott McTominay is a challenge physically but not a great forward passer and at the back, Harry Maguire will improve, but it will take him time. I am not surprised they spent £50m on Aaron Wan-Bissaka but he is young and wants to get forward, which could see spaces in defence.
They still have some issues to sort, but Palace have not started well at all.
They have Christian Benteke back in the team and what is he offering? But then what other choices do they have? They don't have any options. They will be relying on Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend on the counter.
I am surprised Gary Cahill hasn't started yet. Roy Hodgson said on Soccer Saturday that he was impressed by Cahill's fitness, but why isn't he playing to get match fitness? I think he is better than what they have got.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 3-1 (11/1 with Sky Bet)
