Crystal Palace and Manchester United have both lost their past three matches without scoring a goal, so something has to give. United, who have lost Michael Carrick for the rest of the season, will hope for better. The recent wobble has left their Champions League place under threat from Liverpool and it will not be straightforward against Palace, who beat Manchester City at Selhurst Park last month. Palace’s Wilfried Zaha will be eager to show his former club that they were wrong to sell him. Jacob Steinberg
