Manchester United had their five-game unbeaten run snapped via a miserable 1–0 home defeat to Everton on Monday night, and Ruben Amorim’s side have a tricky upcoming assignment this Sunday.
United were beaten at Old Trafford for the first time in Premier League history when the opposition were reduced to 10 men, and Idrissa Gueye’s wild confrontation with Michael Keane meant the hosts had 77 minutes to make the most of their advantage.
However, the inflexible Amorim persisted with his adored 3-4-2-1 and failed to adequately exploit Everton’s shortcomings while a man down. Jordan Pickford was forced into a couple of superb saves, but the visitors were comfortable for the most part and deserved a rare triumph at the Theatre of Dreams.
It’s now United’s turn to visit a not-so-happy hunting ground. The Red Devils are winless at Selhurst Park since 2020, but they’ll at least be facing a Crystal Palace side that were beaten in France on Thursday night.
Here’s how Man Utd could line up in south London at Sunday lunchtime.
