Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed in his press conference on Tuesday morning that he will be without up to nine senior players for the trip to Selhurst Park. Phil Jones is ill, while Anthony Martial, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard are all nursing muscle injuries. Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia remain sidelined so teenage trio Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong and James Garner could all make the matchday squad. Marcus Rashford is a major doubt. Here's how our writers think United should line up against Palace... Liam Corless United have shored up at the back under Solskjaer and he looks to have settled on a first-choice back line. Ashley Young is part of that but Solskjaer can't risk any more defensive injuries and he should be rested so Diogo Dalot can have a run-out. The midfield picks itself after the impressive performances of Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira against Liverpool on Sunday. Fred will have to settle for a place on the bench again. If Marcus Rashford is ruled out with the ankle problem he sustained against Liverpool, Romelu Lukaku could be afforded a return to his favoured position as a central striker. He should be flanked by Alexis Sanchez and Tahith Chong. Samuel Luckhurst Patrick van Aanholt would not be easy pickings for Chong and Wilfried Zaha is a player well worth doubling up on, so as pragmatic as it seems, moving Ashley Young forward to protect Dalot might be sensible. Young's set-pieces were a threat at the weekend, too. Smalling and/or Lindelof should be rested against Southampton ahead of Paris Saint-Germain. There is little choice but to go with McTominay. Fred looks more comfortable further forward and the surprise of picking him could kick-start his United career. Like McTominay, United have little choice but to go with this season's expensive misfits in attack. Alice McKeegan Throwing any youngster into a Premier League fixture is always a huge gamble but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have no option but to select Tahith Chong against Crystal Palace given the club's current injury crisis. Marcus Rashford is a major doubt going into the game and, even if he is passed fit, perhaps should not be risked given his importance to the team. Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira did well against Liverpool so should be given another opportunity in midfield. Alexis Sanchez is selected by virtue of the lack of alternative options - and he needs to finally show the form supporters - and the club - expected from him when he signed.<doc-sep>Get the latest United updates, transfer news and analysis delivered straight to your inbox every day for free Invalid Email Something went wrong, please try again later.

Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial are all absent due to injury, while Phil Jones has been unwell and also misses out. But Marcus Rashford has travelled to Selhurst Park after suffering an ankle injury against Liverpool and is on the bench. Scott McTominay starts in midfield after performing well at the weekend and £52m signing Fred also plays. Youngsters Tahith Chong and James Garner make the bench, while Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood, who both travelled, miss out.

Subs: Romero, Bailly, Rojo, Garner, Pereira, Chong, Rashford.<doc-sep>M anchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be without 10 players for Wednesday night's Premier League clash at Crystal Palace. Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard were forced off during the first half of Sunday's goalless draw against Liverpool - a match Anthony Martial, Phil Jones and Nemanja Matic were ruled out of in the build-up. Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian continue to miss out, Phil Jones is recovering from illness, while Marcus Rashford's ankle issue will need to be assessed. Teenager Mason Greenwood would have come in had he not been injured in recent weeks, but Tahith Chong, James Garner and Angel Gomes will be involved and Marcos Rojo returns. "We'll have a good team out on the pitch definitely," former United striker Solskjaer said. "There'll be a chance for others. I've been sat on the outside getting a chance when this had happened. "The players who came in (against Liverpool), Scott (McTominay) and Andy [Andreas Pereira], I thought they did fantastic. "There you go, that's the way it is. You've just got to be ready when you get it."

Match Preview Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after his side’s goalless draw with Liverpool on Sunday that he had never experienced anything like the bad luck the Red Devils did in that encounter. The Norwegian saw his side suffer an incredible four injuries over the course of the match, including three hamstring problems in the first half alone, which compelled him to use his substitutes early. Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford all sustained problems, with Solskjaer left to lament: “Everything that could have gone wrong first half did go wrong.” His side showed character to take a point from the match, but with as many as 10 players set to miss the midweek trip to Crystal Palace, he has pinpointed a couple of underperforming stars he wishes to see step up . “It's a chance for them to play to their potential,” Solskjaer said of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku, neither of whom has featured regularly under him. “Reputation is one thing; the potential is high and I'm sure of that because the two of them are good mates. “They linked up between them against Arsenal in the FA Cup so hopefully Alexis and Rom can step up. “This might be a chance for those two to find some form and give a selection headache for us when everyone gets fit again.” Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are unlikely to prove straightforward opponents, with the Selhurst Park side on a roll currently. Roy Hodgson celebrated becoming the oldest Premier League manager ever in style at the weekend as his side steamrollered Leicester 4-1 away from home, with ex-Manchester United man Wilfried Zaha grabbing a double. Palace, who are only six points clear of the drop zone, are now undefeated in six in all competitions, with their last loss inflicted by Liverpool at Anfield. They will see Wednesday’s fixture against a wounded rival as another opportunity to claim a big scalp and to take a giant step towards survival.<doc-sep>
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have no choice but to make changes as his side head to Crystal Palace tonight. The Red Devils are set to be without up to 10 players for their Selhurst Park trip after their recent injury nightmare. It means some of their out-of-favour players will have a chance to stake a major claim and work their way into the plans of the Norwegian caretaker manager. Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez are both set to start and provide their attacking firepower in a huge game for their top four hopes. There's also likely to be an opportunity for Andreas Pereira to make his first league start since his error against Burnley back on January 29. (Image: Reuters) Big money summer signing Fred will get a chance to prove his worth after so far struggling to make an impression for the Reds. There's also likely to be a start for Scott McTominay as their central midfield is hit particularly hard by their recent woes leaving plenty of responsibility on Paul Pogba's shoulders. Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata are all suffering with muscle problems and are set to be ruled out as Solskjaer hopes to welcome them back to the fold sooner rather than later. (Image: Man Utd via Getty Images) In-form forward trio Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are also set to miss out leaving Solskjaer relying on big-money duo Lukaku and Sanchez to finally deliver. Some youngsters could also feature as a result of their injury concerns, with Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and James Garner all called up to the senior squad to travel to London. Solskjaer's side are involved in an exciting battle for a top four spot, trailing Arsenal by one point as the Gunners host Bournemouth tonight. Chelsea are also in action as they take on local rivals Tottenham after Sunday's Carabao Cup Final disappointment. Man Utd predicted line-up : De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Pereira, Sanchez, Lukaku.
