Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Manchester United in the Premier League today.

The Red Devils have brought in new signing Wout Weghorst for a full debut, leading the line with the in-form Marcus Rashford still stationed out on the left flank where he has been so effective once more of late. Erik ten Hag’s side have won the last five on the bounce in the top flight, moving up to fourth place in the progress, but a win here will take them into second above Newcastle and rivals Man City.

Palace have struggled for consistency this term and have won just one of the last five, but victory here would at least keep them in touch with the top half, even if they won’t move up from 12th place – barring an absolutely crushing win.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

    United must quickly dust themselves down and get ready for their blockbuster clash with Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday. The previous day, Palace look to build on their momentum when they host high-flying Newcastle United.

    That was some ending at Selhurst Park! Manchester United looked set to move second in the Premier League after Bruno Fernandes’ first-half strike. However, Erik ten Hag’s side were denied in the first minute of stoppage time, when Michael Olise crashed home a stunning 25-yard free-kick to snatch a share of the spoils.

    WHAT A TACKLE! Plenty of drama at both ends in the dying moments here! Racing away on the counter, Zaha threatens to snatch all three points against his former club. However, ex-Palace full-back Wan-Bissaka tracks him all the way before making a perfectly timed sliding challenge.

    CHANCE! United look to respond immediately and an unmarked Casemiro is somehow unable to turn Fernandes’ corner into an open goal from three yards out. Garnacho’s follow-up effort is straight at Guaita.

    Two minutes remain at Selhurst Park, where it is looking increasingly likely that United will see out this advantage and take maximum points. But it is far from over yet.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:46 , admin

    Zaha cuts in from the left flank and tries his luck from distance, but it is just too high.

    Palace make a change in midfield with Milivojevic replacing Hughes.

    Replays suggest Casemiro was fortunate to escape with only a yellow card there. The midfielder caught Zaha with a two-footed challenge that could have prompted further action from the referee.

    Can former United winger Zaha stand up and be counted in these final 10 minutes. He has scored in his last three Premier League appearances against his old club, and the Eagles would love him to continue that record here.

    Hughes catches McTominay late and has his name taken by the referee.

    21:36 , admin

    GOOD SAVE! Palace turn up the pressure and force a corner, from which Guehi’s goalbounder header is brilliantly kept out by De Gea.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:35 , admin

    A scuffle ensues between Zaha and McTominay. But just like the one between Antony and Mitchell in the first half, the referee quickly deals with the situation and gets things back under control.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:33 , admin

    United want a penalty after McTominay goes down under a challenge from Richards. The referee is not interested, though, and sticks with his initial decision following a brief consultation with VAR.

    United just taking the sting out of the game as they slow the tempo right down and look to maintain possession insde their own half.

    Rashford bursts forward and tries his luck with an ambitious effort from distance that is always rising.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:23 , admin

    Palace looking to make things happen down the right flank, but the final ball is definitely lacking at the moment.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:22 , admin

    United still a goal to the good as we reach the hour mark at Selhurst Park. As things stand, they would move up to second in the table, while closing the gap on leaders Arsenal to six points.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:21 , admin

    The Eagles were 1-0 winners against United here on the final day of last season. However, they must come from behind here to secure consecutive victories over the Red Devils for the first time in their history.

    Palace looking to respond and threaten an equaliser, but they are yet to find a way through the blanket of white shirts.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:13 , admin

    Each of United’s last five Premier League away wins have been achieved by a single-goal margin. However, they will want another to consolidate their position in this contest.

    United force a corner at the other end. After Eriksen’s initial delivery is half-cleared, Fernandes tees up Antony. The Brazil winger goes for the top corner, but cannot keep his attempt down.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    21:09 , admin

    That yellow card means Martinez is walking a tightrope for the remainder of this match, something Ten Hag and United will be wary about.

    Though generally second best so far, Crystal Palace certainly had their moments during that first half. Odsonne Eduoard was inches away from putting the hosts ahead but for David de Gea’s wonderful reflexes, although that was their only effort on target so far.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:52 , admin

    Manchester United broke the deadlock just before half-time to take a slender lead into the break at Selhurst Park. It was a brilliant goal as well with Marcus Rashford and Christian Eriksen combining to set up Bruno Fernandes, who made no mistake in putting the visitors ahead.

    Eriksen has now been directly involved in eight goals in 12 Premier League appearances against Palace, including each of his last four (three goals, five assists).

    That would have been some goal from Edouard to break the deadlock. But full marks to De Gea, who demonstrated wonderful reflexes to keep the scoreline goalless.

    WHAT A SAVE! A relative spectator during this first half, Edouard suddenly bursts into life. The Palace striker gains a yard on Varane before bending the ball towards the top corner. But De Gea does brilliantly to get a fingertip on the effort and touch it onto the crossbar.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:42 , admin

    The man in form, Rashford goes for goal from distance, but his attempt is well wide of the target and never troubling Guaita.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:40 , admin

    The visitors are awarded a free-kick in a decent position after Doucoure fells Shaw. Rashford is standing over the ball.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:39 , admin

    Superb tackle! United look to work their way into the Palace box and a neat one-touch move almost gets Casemiro in behind. But Guehi is alert and produces a perfectly timed sliding challenge to stop the midfielder from pulling the trigger.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:37 , admin

    After he is well-found, space opens for Fernandes to try his luck from the edge of the area. He looks for the far post, but Guaita watches his strike all the way wide.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:36 , admin

    Rashford cleverly dummies Shaw’s long ball forward and Weghorst lays it off for Casemiro to strike, but Hughes is well-placed to block his ambitious effort.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:33 , admin

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:33 , admin

    JUST OVER! Weghorst whiskers away! Shaw is enabled far too much room to set himself and send an inviting ball into the box. It is met by Weghorst, but his header just drops the wrong side of the crossbar.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:31 , admin

    Antony also appearing to have issues with his own team-mates. The Brazil international becomes embroiled in a war of words with Fernandes after a lapse in communication culminates in a United attack breaking down.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:29 , admin

    A scuffle breaks out between Mitchell and Antony following an incident off the ball. But the referee is quickly over to diffuse the situation and give both players a good talking to.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:28 , admin

    Although the form book makes them favourites, United have not enjoyed playing Palace in recent times, losing three of their past six Premier League meetings. That is as many as they registered in their previous 31 encounters.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:27 , admin

    JUST WIDE! Sloppy defending leads to a chance for Antony, who neatly lifts the ball over the stranded Guaita. However, his effort drifts marginally the wrong side of the post.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:26 , admin

    20:24 , admin

    Mateta gives chase after a loose header from Martinez. Thankfully for the visitors, Varane is alert and quickly gets back to deal with the potential danger.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:21 , admin

    Having taken a blow to the head, Martinez is bandaged up and is eventually waved back into the action by the referee.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:20 , admin

    Concern for the visitors as birthday boy Martinez requires attention following a collision with Mateta. The World Cup winner, who turns 25 today, is being seen to by the medical team.

    United apply the pressure at the other end and following a succession of crosses, the ball falls kindly for Shaw to strike. The England left-back connects cleanly, but his effort is off target.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:16 , admin

    Following a patient build-up, Olise is found in space on the right flank. The former Reading winger whips a cross towards the far post, but it is too high for his team-mates and goes behind for a goal kick.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:15 , admin

    Palace are aiming to avert a fifth home Premier League defeat of the season today. That would surpass their tally for the entire 2021-22 campaign.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:14 , admin

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:12 , admin

    A nervy moment for Guaita, who spills Fernandes’ low cross from the left. However, the Palace defence reacts quickly to deny Weghorst a sniff at goal.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:11 , admin

    Settling into their own rhythm, the hosts continue to threaten. Olise whips in a cross from the opposite flank, but Martinez heads clear.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:09 , admin

    Palace embark on their first attacking venture with Hughes leading the charge from midfield. Mitchell sends a low cross in from the left, but it flashes through the penalty area before Shaw tidies up.

    Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    20:07 , admin

    United look to work an opening with Wan-Bissaka and Antony combining down the right flank, but Mitchell anticipates the danger and makes an important intervention.

    United quickly establish control in possession as they target a sixth successive Premier League victory.

    The big team news for United sees Ten Hag hand a debut to new signing Weghorst, who arrived on loan from Burnley a few days ago. The Netherlands international is one of three changes from the derby win over Manchester City, with Martinez and Antony also back in the starting XI. Malacia and Fred drop to the bench, while Anthony Martial misses out through injury.
