Manchester United will be keen to continue winning after their 1-0 win against Tottenham in the Premier League. Playing Crystal Palace is never easy and especially at Selhurst Park. They are very physical and have some quality ball players in midfield with the intimidating Christian Benteke leading the line. Mourinho certainly will make the required changes to counter Palace’s physical threat which means that there is a high probability of Fellaini starting. Michael Carrick can’t be expected to play such a difficult game after having played the whole 90 minutes against Spurs on Sunday.
Wayne Rooney will replace Henrikh Mkhitaryan who is injured and Juan Mata is likely to replace the off colour Anthony Martial. United will lack pace on the wings in this setup but the guile and control which Rooney and Mata will provide will more than make up for it. The form Antonio Valencia in at the moment, he can play both the position on the right wing like Dani Alves used to do for Barcelona.
