Ahead of the match at Old Trafford, we take a look at how the sides' midfielders Marouane Fellaini and James McArthur compare.

Manchester United come into this game without a win in three, the same form they had at the start of the season. Two draws against West Brom and Chelsea, and a loss against local rivals City, have put them in a must win position on Saturday.

Crystal Palace have only won one in their last five Premier League outings, losing three and drawing one.

Boss Neil Warnock has made his feelings clear, believing that their winless streak is down to the officials more so than his own players. He was subsequently fined £9000 when saying that Chelsea players had influenced referee Craig Pawson.
