Four points from Manchester United's opening three outings is a modest return as David Moyes embarks on a debut season as their manager. A home game against Crystal Palace in the weekend's opening fixture appears a banker to secure victory for only the second time, with United having lost 1-0 at Liverpool in their previous game. But Ian Holloway's side arrive with confidence high having beaten Sunderland 3-1 last time out and Moyes will be without Wayne Rooney as his head injury continues to heal. Jamie Jackson
