• None Go straight to all the best Manchester United conten

Crystal Palace nicked a draw right at the end of the game when these two teams met at Selhurst Park last month - it cost me some prediction points too because I had gone for a 1-0 Manchester United win.

It's going to be harder for the Eagles this time, and not just because they go to Old Trafford, where United have won their past 12 games in all competitions.

Wilfried Zaha is injured and, although he has not been at his very best this season, he is still a big miss for Patrick Vieira's side.
