Manchester United face a stern examination of their character this afternoon as they travel to a venue that has become a house of horrors for them: Selhurst Park. Following a dismal 3-0 defeat to Everton that ended a five-match unbeaten streak, the pressure is firmly on Ruben Amorim's side to deliver a response against a confident Crystal Palace.
Team News and Confirmed Lineups
Ruben Amorim has reacted to the Everton debacle by making two changes to his starting eleven. Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount come into the side, replacing Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu. This adjustment sees Amad Diallo move to the right flank, with Mount joining Bryan Mbeumo in support of striker Joshua Zirkzee, who retains his place despite a difficult outing on Monday.
Crystal Palace Starting XI: Henderson; Muñoz, Richards, Lacroix, Guéhi, Mitchell; Wharton, Kamada; Piño, Sarr; Mateta.
Manchester United Starting XI: Lammens, Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Mount, Zirkzee.
A Daunting Historical Record
The statistics make for grim reading for the travelling United supporters. Crystal Palace are two points ahead of United in the Premier League table and boast a formidable recent record in this fixture. The Eagles have not lost to the Red Devils at Selhurst Park in six years and have been defeated only once in the last seven league meetings between the two clubs.
For United, the absence of key attackers continues to be a major concern. Matheus Cunha misses out again after failing to recover from a minor head injury sustained in training last week. Star striker Benjamin Sesko also remains unavailable, placing the goalscoring burden squarely on Zirkzee and the reshuffled attacking line.
Match Details and How to Follow
The Premier League encounter kicks off at 12:00 PM GMT on Sunday, November 30, 2025. The match is being broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK, with a live stream available via the Discovery+ app.
Oliver Glasner will be hoping his Palace side have recovered from a midweek Europa Conference League defeat to Strasbourg. Another insipid performance from Manchester United, however, could see things turn very messy indeed for Amorim's men in south east London.
