Manchester United begin their Carbao Cup quest this evening with a meeting against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Winners of this competition last year, the perssure is already on United.

It’s been a torrid start to the season for Erik ten Hag & Co. as injuries and poor performances as three wins and there defeats leave United well off the early pace.

Palace, meanwhile, have produced a similarly inconsistent start and will hope to reach the League Cup fourth round for the first time in five seasons.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace team news

Manchester United hope to have Harry Maguire and Sergio Reguilon fit for the game. The centre-back has been nursing a knock, while the loanee was withdrawn late on against Burnley due to illness.

Sofyan Amrabat could make his full debut in midfield, but the game is likely to come too soon for Lisandro Martinez but Mason Mount could make his first start since before the international break. Altay Bayindir is pushing to make his debut in goal.

Palace are also juggling a number of injuries, with the likes of Michael Olise, Matheus Franca and Jefferson Lerma all still sidelines. Jean-Philippe Mateta should come in to the starting lineup, with Odsonne Edouard in line for a rest.

Roy Hodgson will make plenty of changes, meaning Rob Holding, Nathaniel Clyne and Jairo Riedewald could make up quite the second-string defence. Dean Henderson will be making his debut against his former club.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace prediction

Neither team has really got going so far this season so I’m not expecting a cup classic at the Theatre of Dreams.

Crystal Palace have the pedigree and form to win at Old Trafford but, with another trip to the same stadium coming four days later, the expected changes could will make the job much tougher. United should have enough.

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace score prediction

United regained a bit of momentum at the weekend following three-straight defeats, and while this is an early round cup affair, this remains an important fixture for Ten Hag at the start of the new season.

While they were recently brushed aside by Brighton on home soil, United are typically a tough side to beat at Old Trafford and last season’s Carabao Cup run was aided by a string of home draws.

This is a bigger game for United than it is for Palace, and the hosts should edge it.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Crystal Palace
