It seems likely that The Eagles will possibly line up in a 3-4-3 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Dean Henderson, Nathaniel Clyne, Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix, Daniel Munoz, Adam Wharton, Will Hughes, Tyrick Mitchell, Edward Nketiah, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has multiple availability issues to deal with. Tyrell Malacia (Knee injury), Mason Mount (Hamstring injury), Daniel Gore (Shoulder injury), Luke Shaw (Calf injury) and Leny Yoro (Ankle injury) won’t be making appearances.

From our viewpoint, The Red Devils will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.
