TEAM NEWS – Manchester United: Memphis Depay and James Wilson are unlikely to be available this afternoon while Antonio Valencia is still nursing a foot injury. Midfielders Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ander Herrera will all be well rested after being left on the bench midweek.
Willo [Wilson] was injured but also Memphis Depay was injured. It was a very bad game afterwards because we lost on penalties and also we lost two players. We have to wait and see [how long they are unavailable for] because it was only two days ago.
TEAM NEWS – Crystal Palace: Pardew has had to contend with a number of injury headaches in recent weeks and is likely to be without Yohan Cabaye and Pape Soare for this afternoon's match. Joel Ward came off the bench in the dying minutes of that defeat to Manchester City, but after eight weeks out injured, the Palace boss may be tempted to ease him back in slowly.
The knives have been out this week after Manchester United's turgid performance against Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup which saw them eliminated on penalties. A failure to breakdown Manchester City in last Sunday's derby can be forgiven, but the insipid stuff on display midweek has seen the cries of discontent grow, led by former Reds Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.
Louis van Gaal has remained resolute in the face of fresh criticism directed at his tactics and philosophy of the game, and, despite the dour nature of his side's performances, they sit just two points off the Premier League summit. But when Alan Pardew is warning United's football is dull enough to quieten the boisterous Holmesdale End of Selhurst Park, there could be a problem.
Palace meanwhile are just five points off United, but their momentum has slipped a tad after back to back league defeats to West Ham and Crystal Palace, suffering a 5-1 thrashing to Manchester City in the League Cup to boot.
