Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park with three important points on the line.

The Reds return to Premier League action with renewed confidence following convincing wins against Southampton (3-0) and Barnsley (7-0).

Erik ten Hag will want his team to maintain this momentum as they face a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks.

This includes matchups against Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, as well as Europa League games against FC Twente and FC Porto.

Their immediate focus, however, is the trip to Selhurst Park, one of the Premier League’s more challenging away venues.

Despite Crystal Palace’s winless start to the season, United will be cautious. They suffered a 4-0 defeat at the South London ground last season and are seeking to avenge that result.

All the details of how to watch the next clash against Palace can be read below.

Kick-off times and venue

As mentioned previously, United will be travelling away from home for the third time so far this season.

Ten Hag recently criticised the Premier League for giving the club the 12:30pm kick-off slot in back-to-back away trips against Brighton and Southampton.

However, the League have continued to make controversial decisions for United’s away trips as the club’s visit to Selhurst Park kicks off at 17:30 BST.

This will make life difficult for any supporters planning to get public transport to London for the game–something that the Premier League have been urging fans to do over recent years.

TV Channel

In the United Kingdom, the game will be available to watch on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. Meanwhile, international coverage can be found here.

The UtdDistrict X account will also cover the fixture, providing quotes from Ten Hag and the players before and after the match.

Latest team news

Mason Mount and Rasmus Højlund have both returned to team training this week and reports claim that Højlund will be included in the squad for this weekend’s clash.

Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez are all fully fit heading into the game after initial doubts over the trio after the latest Premier League outing.

Meanwhile, Manuel Ugarte got some important minutes in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday and could be in line for his first Premier League start this weekend.

Finally, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelöf, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are all ruled out of the clash through injury, although Malacia and Lindelöf have both returned to the grass at Carrington.
