Manchester United begin the defence of their Carabao Cup crown as they take on Crystal Palace in the third round of the cup competition.
The Old Trafford club secured their first trophy under Erik ten Hag at Wembley in February.
It’s been a difficult start to his second season in charge for the Dutchman, though, with Manchester United already having suffered four defeats and unconvincing in a narrow weekend win over Burnley.
This is the first of back-to-back meetings between these two clubs, with Crystal Palace surely eyeing a place in the fourth round before they take on their opponents in the Premier League on Saturday.

Team news
Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire and Mason Mount did not feature for Manchester United in the win over Burnley, but Raphael Varane and Sofyan Amrabat, making a debut, did appear off the bench. The pair could start here, though Sergio Reguilon has been struggling with illness and was taken off late in that fixture at Turf Moor. Maguire and Mount are back in training tough this game might come too soon.

Manager Roy Hodgson was taken ill before his side’s previous fixture against Aston Villa but returned to the touchline at the weekend. Dean Henderson could feature in goal against his former club.
