Manchester United are enjoying a decent unbeaten run in the Premier League under Michael Carrick and are set to host Crystal Palace on matchday 28 of the English top flight on Sunday, March 1st, at 14:00 local time at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are making a serious push for a Champions League finish, largely due to their form lately, and a win over the Eagles would put them in a more secure position, especially if Chelsea drop points against Arsenal later in the day.
Here is a look at how the home side may line-up on the weekend.
Goalkeeper – Senne Lammens had an excellent game against Everton and will keep his place in the team on Sunday.
Defenders – Diogo Dalot continues to play at right back with an improvement in form over recent weeks, and the Portuguese may once again be employed in his preferred position. Meanwhile, Luke Shaw may also retain his berth at left back. Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro could partner with one another in the heart of the backline to round off an unchanged defence.
Sesko back to lead the line
Midfielders – Kobbie Mainoo has enjoyed an increased amount of prominence under Michael Carrick and will be in contention to start for Manchester United once more in midfield. Casemiro, who has a maximum of 10 more appearances in him for the Red Devils before he departs the club, is expected to partner with the Englishman in the double pivot.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes is expected to keep his place as the attacking midfielder. Bryan Mbeumo could replace Amad Diallo on the right wing, whereas Matheus Cunha could continue to play on the left flank.
Forward – Benjamin Sesko is expected to come into the team to lead the line for United after being impressive lately, and grabbing the match-winning goal last Monday versus Everton.
Here is how the Red Devils are expected to look on paper.
