Manchester United will be eyeing a fourth successive win in all competitions when they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford this afternoon, kick-off 2pm.

United maintained their recent run of encouraging form with a routine 2-0 win over FCSB in the Europa League in Bucharest on Thursday night. Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo both scored in the second half to secure automatic qualification for the last-16.
