Crystal Palace vs Manchester United LIVE!
Manchester United had to settle for a single point despite a dominant performance by Erik ten Hag's team in their 0-0 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
The draw - at least a small measure of revenge after United's humiliating 4-0 rout by Palace in May that was their low point last season - left them 11th in the table on seven points. Oliver Glasner's Palace are 16th with three points.
Ten Hag's men will rue Saturday's squandered opportunities, including two agonising near misses in rapid-fire succession in the first half that saw Alejandro Garnacho and then Bruno Fernandes hammer shots off the crossbar within a few seconds, both left to hold their heads in disbelief.
United keeper Andre Onana saw almost no action in the first half but was put to work several times in the second against a Palace side who were significantly better after the break. Onana made a fabulous double save, diving to bat away Eddie Nketiah's shot and then leaping into the air to stop Ismaila Sarr volleying home the rebound.

18:53 , Alex Young

Not quite Raya levels but the keeper first denies Nketiah and then Sarr’s volleyed follow-up.
Stunning.
18:52 , Alex Young
64min: Martinez jumps in two-footed on Kamada, missing him but is extremely lucky to escape with only a yellow card. A bizarre and very dangerous thing to do.

18:30 , Alex Young
An interesting stat from Opta, United have won just one and lost four of their last seven games which were level at half-time.
18:27 , Alex Young
You wonder if Glasner makes a change at the break, perhaps in midfield.

18:13 , Alex Young
42min: How have United not scored?!
A fizzed ball across the six-yard box from Fernandes, which Zirkzee gets a slight touch on - enough to get out of reach of Garnacho.
Henderson fist-pumps the air.
18:12 , Alex Young
41min: Oh dear! Mainoo bends to shoot and ends up firing a shot straight into Eriksen’s face.
The Dane laughs it off, through pain I’d imagine.

35min: Nice link-up play between Amad and Fernandes ends with the latter firing low at goal, which Guehi blocks.

19min: Palace can’t get a foot on the ball at the moment.
17:50 , Alex Young

17:29 , Alex Young
Here come the teams.
Ten Hag on Ugarte being benched
17:26 , Alex Young
"[Fatigue] is one of the reasons, yes. There is a connection.
“I didn't want to interrupt, but also Manuel needs some time to be integrated and to get used to English football.
“It will go quickly, but it is more to keep the connection in midfield as it is."
17:19 , Alex Young
The teams are back in. Not long to go.
Glasner on Man United
17:08 , Alex Young
"You can see that if you defend well you will get your chances, because they play very offensive football and a clear structure.
"That speaks for their manager, but I am convinced that we will find our spaces where we can create chances and score goals."
Ten Hag on that 4-0 loss ahead of tonight's game
16:53 , Alex Young
"Don't compare it because the circumstances in that moment in the season, I would from February on we had to find every time 11 players who can construct a team.
"Now we are in a different place, we have 18 players and we can pick a team."
16:44 , Alex Young
The last time these two teams met, Crystal Palace won 4-0.

16:36 , Alex Young
Eriksen over Ugarte is a bold call from Ten Hag. Despite the concerns over Ugarte in possession, he is clearly a stronger presence in midfield than the Dane.
This Palace team don’t mess around, either.
16:32 , Alex Young
Crystal Palace make two changes as Kamada replaces the injured Doucoure and Richards comes in for Clyne. *
It's just one change for United as Garnacho replaces Rashford. Ugarte is on the bench.

Glasner sys Palace are in 'fight mode'
15:49 , Alex Young
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says his side are in fight mode ahead of tonight's game.
"It's not so fluent, like we would wish, but I think it's also not possible at the moment. It's also a fact that the last four games (including the Carabao Cup) were two wins and two draws.
"So after losing the first two games of the season we are fighting back in the league. We are fighting back into our best shape.
"But this is sometimes, you don't have to think about it because everything is working, everything is running.
"But sometimes you have to fight for this, and this is what really gives me a lot of confidence and appreciation as a manager of this group is that they are fighting for their points, that they are fighting for their wins, and this is what we will do [on Saturday]."
Ten Hag on Hojlund and Mount
15:38 , Alex Young
Erik ten Hag plans to integrate Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount carefully after the injured Manchester United duo returned to training ahead of today’s game.
"It's very good news they are back on the pitch," Ten Hag said. "They are back in team training.
"We have to decide whether they are fit enough to start but it is very pleasing they are fit and back in the squad. We have so many games in this block to cover so very happy.
"We have to make the final call. They did a couple of training (sessions). We have to see how they recover and then [Friday] we will make a final call."

Score prediction
15:25 , Alex Young
Palace are perhaps unlucky not to have won just yet and do have the tools to disrupt an inconsistent Man United side.
Draw, 1-1.
Manchester United team news
15:19 , Alex Young
Alejandro Garnacho is pushing to start today after taking his tally up to four goals this season with a brace in Tuesday night’s 7-0 demolition of Barnsley.
Ten Hag has instead trusted Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford in wide areas, while Antony also scored on Tuesday night.
Asked about the Argentine international, Ten Hag said: “‘There will be rotation. The conclusion from all of you is not right when I pick XI that I drop a player.
“I pick a starting XI because I know I will have to change. We have more than 11 players who can be in the lineup of any match in this moment.”
United head to Selhurst Park on Saturday off the back of a 3-0 victory at Southampton and Ten Hag is still expected to be without a number of big name players.
United have been handed a boost as both Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount returning to group training this week.
Crystal Palace team news
15:11 , Alex Young
Summer signing Eddie Nketiah got off the mark at QPR and is expected to start again today.
Fellow new arrival Trevoh Chalobah saw his debut delayed due to an injury picked up in training, though he could be in contention.
Chadi Riad and Rob Holding are not expected to be involved and Cheick Doucoure is also now out, though Matheus Franca is back in team training.
Where to watch Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
15:04 , Alex Young
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Coverage starts at 5pm BST ahead of a 5.30pm kick-off.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Sky Go app.
Welcome
14:59 , Alex Young
Good afternoon and welcome to the Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
The Eagles went into the season full of confidence and expectation, but remain winless after four games, with just two points to their name. Today’s visitors were thrashed 4-0 in this game last season - which was as recent as May - and Oliver Glasner could do with more of the season today.
United have again hardly set the world alight this season, but have two wins to their name and are fresh from a 7-0 thumping of Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. Confidence is high, but a record of two wins from 16 on the road in London will temper some predictions.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm. Stick with us.
