Man Utd-Crystal Palace: confirmed line-ups and live updates

Welcome to our live coverage of Manchester United-Crystal Palace.

THINGS TO KNOW AHEAD OF THE KICK-OFF

Manchester United have never lost a Premier League game against Crystal Palace in 16 previous meetings (W13 D3 L0). The only team they’ve faced as often without losing are Charlton Athletic (W14 D2 L0).
 
Crystal Palace’s last league victory over Manchester United came in May 1991 at Selhurst Park – Ian Wright scoring one and John Salako netting a brace in a 3-0 win.
 
However, their most recent victory over Manchester United came in the League Cup in November 2011 – Darren Ambrose and Glenn Murray scoring in a 2-1 win in the quarter-final.
 
Manchester United have won 10 consecutive home top-flight matches against Crystal Palace, conceding just two goals in that time – both in the same game, a 5-2 win in December 2004.
 
Eight of Manchester United’s 17 Premier League goals so far this season have arrived in the final 10 minutes of matches (47.1%) – as it stands, this is the highest proportion by any team in any single Premier League season.
 
Crystal Palace are the first side in England’s top four tiers to lose their first six games of the season without scoring.
 
Romelu Lukaku has scored six goals in his first six Premier League appearances for Manchester United – the record tally of goals by a Man Utd player in their opening seven PL games for the club is held by Andrew Cole (seven goals).
