Manchester United faces a critical examination as they strive to overcome their away struggles against Crystal Palace in Monday night’s fixture.
Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, United’s performances on the road have raised concerns, with the squad failing to clinch a Premier League win away from Old Trafford for more than two months.
The recent stalemate against Burnley failed to buoy United’s morale, and with Champions League aspirations dashed for the upcoming season, their attention now turns to securing a sixth-place finish.
On the flip side, Oliver Glasner’s Palace have experienced a revival, distancing themselves from the relegation skirmish by amassing 10 points from their last four matches.
Kick-off Details
The showdown between Crystal Palace and Manchester United is scheduled for an 8 pm BST kick-off on Monday, May 6, 2024, at Selhurst Park in London.
Team Updates
For Palace, the return of Eberechi Eze serves as a significant boost after his precautionary absence. Jefferson Lerma and Marc Guehi are also edging closer to full fitness.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford remains a doubt for United due to injury, while Scott McTominay is expected to sit out with a knee issue. This scenario could open the door for Mason Mount to secure a starting berth.
