Manchester United will be looking to earn their second Premier League victory in a row when they host Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils registered a hard-fought victory over Fulham last weekend, before securing a 2-0 win over FCSB on Romanian soil in their final Europa League group-stage fixture.
Therefore, Ruben Amorim will be desperate to keep the momentum going for once, but his men must deliver an improved display in front of their home supporters and dispel all talks of Old Trafford jitters.
So how will the Reds line up when they play host to the Eagles on Sunday?
Andre Onana might not be the most popular figure in Manchester these days, but you can still expect him to maintain his position, as his understudy Altay Bayindir has only been featured in cup competitions.
Moreover, Amorim should preserve his tried-and-tested backline of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez who proved to be the unlikely match-winner last weekend at Craven Cottage. Therefore, Leny Yoro should start on the bench, and potentially make an appearance in the second half.

Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui remain the ultimate options on the wings while awaiting the arrival of Patrick Dorgu and the full recovery of Luke Shaw who has recently returned to training.
In the middle of the park, club captain Bruno Fernandes could once again start in a deeper role alongside Manuel Ugarte, while Kobbie Mainoo could be rested following his midweek heroics, making way for Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho who are expected to start in the hole.
Finally, Joshua Zirkzee should return to the starting lineup getting rested in Romania in favour of Rasmus Hojlund.
Man Utd predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot; Amad, Garnacho; Zirkzee.
