The next match of Double Gameweek 20 takes place at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace host Manchester United in the 20:00 GMT kick-off.

Erik ten Hag’s side has had an extra day of rest over Palace, following Saturday’s late comeback win over Manchester City. It was their ninth successive victory in all competitions and another tonight will put them in second place, leapfrogging both their neighbours and Newcastle United.

Anthony Martial (£6.6m) was withdrawn at half-time at the weekend and doesn’t make the squad, meaning loanee Wout Weghorst (£6.0m) will start on his debut.

It’s one of three changes made by ten Hag, as Lisandro Martinez (£4.5m) and Antony (£7.4m) come in for Tyrell Malacia (£4.2m) and Fred (£5.1m). An injured Diogo Dalot (£4.7m) allows Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.3m) to face his former club.

Popular picks Marcus Rashford (£7.1m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m) start, as does Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m). After several appearances at centre-back, Shaw appears to be back on the left.

As for Palace, defender Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) picked up a first-half calf injury at Chelsea and will miss a few weeks. In his place comes Chris Richards (£4.4m).

Forwards Odsonne Edouard (£5.2m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.1m) start instead of Jordan Ayew (£5.3m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.6m), suggesting a possible 4-4-2 system. Meanwhile, Will Hughes (£4.8m) replaces Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.7m).

GAMEWEEK 20 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Clyne, Guehi, Richards, Mitchell; Olise, Doucoure, Hughes, Zaha; Edouard, Mateta

Subs: Johnstone, Ward, Tomkins, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Ozoh, Eze, Ayew 

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, McTominay, Garnacho, Elanga, Pellistri

    That Palace guy with the white hair and white goatee is really good at winning the ball…..and then giving it straight back.

      He would have been almost invisible, had he been stood outside here lastnight in the snow

    How many times a game does Bruno give away the ball

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lesser than KDB

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Many times but rather players are brave and play the ball forwards than have a 80-90% pass rate passing sideways

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      People have the same complaints about KDB & Trent but thats the role of the creator.

      One through ball getting through for a 1 vs 1 is worth the lost balls!

      Recommend reading this from Ian Graham, Liverpool's director of research: https://trainingground.guru/articles/ian-graham-the-one-currency-liverpool-use-to-judge-players

      “And the passes I really love are the passes that go in behind the opposition defence, that take four or five defenders out of the game. Those passes are really hard to make. Someone who gets those passes correct half the time would be a world-class attacking midfielder."
