I think whatever team Erik selects, it’s going to please some folk and annoy others (nothing new in this place I suppose). Fred & Casemiro both being a booking away from a suspension against Arsenal is an absolute nightmare scenario going into this game. Real dilemma whether to play them or not and take the risk but John Brooks being a card happy ref when he wants to be, it’s a risk I’d rather avoid. Plus McTominay-Eriksen worked really well as a duo at the start of the season. Having said that, if they do start then fine. Martial doubtful, therefore I won’t be surprised if Rashford starts up top. Will be nice to see two striker options on the bench (if Martial is deemed fit) for the first time in a very long time!
De Gea
Wan-Bissaka - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
McTominay - Eriksen
Antony - B.Fernandes - Garnacho
Rashford
Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Casemiro, Fred, Elanga, Weghorst, Martial (if not fit then Pellistri)
Score Prediction - Crystal Palace 0-1 Manchester United
