This promises to be an awkward test for Manchester United, who cannot afford another defeat if they are to keep alive their diminishing hopes of finishing in the top four. Crystal Palace have been excellent at Selhurst Park since Tony Pulis's arrival, winning five of their seven home matches under the former Stoke City manager. Although Palace remain two points above the bottom three, they will fancy their chances of giving David Moyes another headache. United have found it difficult at this ground in the past.
