Manchester United kick off their Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side have had to wait a week longer than most to return to action, but will be expecting to make up for lost time with a comfortable win over a side expected to spend the season at the bottom end of the table.

That said, Roy Hodgson’s defences are notoriously difficult to break down, and Palace ground out an impressive 1-0 win over Southampton last weekend. That’s in spite of a string of injury problems: Christian Benteke, Gary Cahill, Patrick van Aanholt and James Tomkins are some of the seven Eagles players currently occupying the treatment table. In contrast, United will only be without Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones; expect Donny van der Beek to be handed his debut in central midfield.
