Preview: Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United

Sports Mole looks ahead to Manchester United's trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Manchester United will have the chance to climb up to sixth in the Premier League table if they can beat Crystal Palace this weekend.

However, David Moyes's side have won just once in their last five outings in all competitions.

Phil Jones is expected to return after missing the last couple of weeks with a concussion, while Jonny Evans and Nani are also doubts with calf and hamstring injuries respectively.

Meanwhile, Tony Pulis's side are two points clear of the relegation zone ahead of facing the defending champions.

The manager has a full squad to pick from for the match with no reported injuries.

With the teams in the bottom half of the table so close together, victory could lift Palace up as high as 10th, depending on other results.

When the sides met earlier in the season, United clinched a 2-0 win.
