Erik ten Hag’s squad, fresh off a hard-fought yet atypical victory against Burnley, was in dire need of a strong performance against Palace. However, Joachim Andersen was given a rest, and Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze only made appearances as substitutes.
Despite missing Odsonne Edouard, Palace is expected to present a stronger challenge. On the other hand, Manchester United utilized Raphael Varane and Casemiro in the midweek game, allowing key players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford to rest.
