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Anthony Martial (£6.6m) was withdrawn at half-time at the weekend and doesn’t make the squad, meaning loanee Wout Weghorst (£6.0m) will start on his debut.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

    Casemiro suspended ffs

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fernandes giving out to him and it was his bloody fault for trying the stupid flicked pass in the tackle instead of doing the basics right

  5. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Yessssssssssssss Casemiro out for Sunday.

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

      Yes yes yes! Love it. Onwards.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal fans are beaming. That’s a massive massive loss

  7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Just so you all know, BBC jinxed it:

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Man Utd
    Casemiro is playing well, standard really. He does well to stop Eberechi Eze after the Palace sub had skipped past Bruno Fernandes.

  13. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fred on to get his yellow too

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Never seen a 5th yellow get such a reaction from a commentator

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Feck

  16. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    McFred together worth about 0.1 of Cas

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

    The way football works, McTomminay will now do something very influential in Sunday's game.

    Whether he'll win the game for Arsenal or United is the mystery...

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Best he could do is take Saka out

          • 12 Years

  19. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      they wouldnt have won even with him

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Advantage Arsenal being at home, longer rest period etc etc

  20. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha is the last lad you want to be up against when trying to escape a yellow

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years

  22. putana
    • 7 Years

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

  24. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 7 Years

    Mili with penalty

  25. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hughes game summed up :
    Great in ball recuparation
    Great in giving the ball straight back

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

    Rashford has been awful

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Usually gets an irrelevant consolation. Well United do.

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Palace in freefall, Newcastle up next and then Utd again before a derby against Brighton

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Then... BRE, LIV, AVL, MCI, ARS
      Looking painful.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just thinking this myself.

      There’s usually one club that stays away from the relegation zone for most of the season then suddenly starts dropping down the table as the season end gets near, and can’t stop the slide.

      Palace could well be that team this season.

    3. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What you mean?

  28. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I'm sending a search party out for Dalot. Anyone fancy coming along?

  29. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why didn’t Ten Hag rest Casemiro? Now he misses Arsenal game. Bad management

    1. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Because he's essential to how they play and the alternatives are awful. McFred back for the weekend

  30. SkyByBo
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wan Bissaka is as bad going forward as TAA is at defending.
