Manchester United host Crystal Palace in Premier League competition tomorrow before heading into the international break. On the other side of the intermission will be the October 14th showdown at Anfield against hated rival Liverpool.
With United battling a few injuries now, and seeing their depth dissipate in the midfield, resting some guys and keeping the roster as healthy as possible will be key in this one.
Without further ado, here is The Sports Bank’s MUFC Starting XI Prediction
Romelu Lukau
Marcus Rashford Henrikh Mkhitaryan Juan Mata

Odds: Oddschecker backs United at 2/11 to win, while setting odds for a draw at 15/2. The line for a Crystal Palace victory is now at 22/1.
