Manchester United head to Selhurst Park on Saturday following back-to-back big wins over Southampton and Barnsley. Continuing good form against Crystal Palace would give the Reds a major confidence boost heading into a stretch of league matches against Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Brentford.
Matthijs De Ligt silenced his critics with a brilliant performance against Southampton, and his partnership with Lisandro Martinez is only getting stronger. Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot have been fantastic all season and will undoubtedly retain their spots this weekend.
Manuel Ugarte started for the first time on Tuesday and should retain his spot despite a bounce-back performance from Casemiro. Kobbie Mainoo was rested against Barnsley alongside Bruno Fernandes, though Bruno made a late appearance and assisted twice. Christian Eriksen will likely return to the bench after two strong performances starting.
The collective form of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo should see all three start. Rashford has scored three in two matches, earning the opportunity to displace Joshua Zirkzee up top.
Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount returned to training this week and should at least be in the traveling squad. One thing to watch will be what Ten Hag decides to do with Hojlund and Zirkzee available at the same time.

Goalkeeper: Andre Onana
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs De Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui
Midfielders: Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes
