Manchester United vs Crystal Palace: Premier League prediction, team news, line-ups, start time, live, TV
Crystal Palace continue the search for their first Premier League goals and points of the season on Saturday against Manchester United.
The Eagles continue to set records for the worst start to an England top-flight history, dating back to 1888, and lost 5-0 to Manchester City last time out.
The challenge was made much harder in the week with the news Christian Benteke's ligament damage will rule him out for six weeks, prompting Roy Hodgson to look at the free agent market.
Palace have never beaten United in the Premier League and have only three points to their name from 16 meetings since 1992.
Start time
Manchester United host Crystal Palace at Old Trafford with kick-off scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, September 30.

Team news
Man United
Both Ander Herrera and Anthony Martial will be hoping for starts as Jose Mourinho looks for pace to stretch a depleted Palace side.
Paul Pogba remains sidelined for the foreseeable future after Jose Mourinho confirmed the midfielder is a "long-term" absentee, while Michael Carrick is expected to also miss out with a knock.
Ashley Young started, and captained, United against CSKA Moscow in midweek, meaning Daley Blind could return to the starting XI this weekend, while Antonio Valencia and Phil Jones are both doubts.
Crystal Palace
Rookie forward Freddie Ladapo could solve Palace's striker crisis. The 24-year-old is Palace's only fit recognised striker after Benteke was ruled out for at least six weeks with knee trouble.
Former Wolves winger Bakary Sako could be pressed into service as a makeshift striker. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has a thigh problem, and James Tomkins is ill.
Predicted line-ups
Man United starting XI: De Gea; Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Darmian; Matic, Herrera; Rashford, Mhkitaryan, Martial; Lukaku
Crystal Palace starting XI: Hennessey; Fosu-Mensah, Dann, Sakho, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic, Cabaye; Townsend, Sako, Schlupp; Ladapo
