EFL Cup: Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace (Team News, Prediction & Lineups)

Manchester United will be hoping to progress to the fourth round of the EFL Cup against EPL rival Crystal Palace.

Team News

Ahead of their upcoming clash, Manchester United has to determine Sergio Reguilon’s readiness, as he was taken off late in their game against Burnley due to sickness.

Sofyan Amrabat, who debuted for the Red Devils in their last match at Turf Moor playing as a left-back, might get a chance to start, but in the central midfield position.

On the other side, Palace will be without Michael Olise, Matheus Franca, Jefferson Lerma, James Tomkins, and Naouirou Ahamada on Tuesday due to injuries.

Eagles’ manager Hodgson is set to shuffle his lineup from their game against Fulham, with the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi poised for starting berths.

Prediction

The victory over Burnley has surely boosted Manchester United’s spirit, casting a different aura around the team for this match.

While both teams’ managers are expected to tweak their lineups, our bet is on the Red Devils progressing further in the Cup event.
