Don’t look now, but Manchester United is unbeaten in their last three games under Ruben Amorim while preparing for Crystal Palace on Sunday. While the Red Devils are far from where they want to sit in the table, cup matches are still in the game. After the qualification for the last 16 in the Europa League, Premier League game is now more a time for Amorim to determine his best XI for that and the FA Cup.
Of course United does not want to lose from Crystal Palace, but when cups will be their best chance of European football next season, this must be the priority.

Storylines
Manchester United: Finally, United on the right results in terms of results close to their entire team will be available for selection. Although that does not include Marcus Rashford while he is on his way to Aston Villa, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Jonny Evans will miss the game. Besides that, United will have their usual rotation for this home game.
Manchester United predicted XI: Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Harr Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Amad Diallo, Alejandro Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee
Crystal Palace: Chris Richards is back in the XI as Crystal Palace at an important moment seems to distance from the relegation zone. The XI will get a pretty blow, because Ebereechi is not available due to an ankle injury. A crucial member of the attack, Palace will have difficulty scoring goals without him, but Matheus Franka and Adam Wharton will return. Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Dnanou are the other absent.
Crystal Palace predicted XI: Dean Henderson, Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix, Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell, Jefferson Lerma, Will Hughes, Daniel Munoz, Daichi Kamada, Ismaila Sarr, Jean-Philippe Mateta
