Man Utd vs Crystal Palace injury news as seven ruled out and two doubtful amid Lokonga and Ahamada updates

Crystal Palace are back in Premier League action this weekend with a tricky away trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last two league outings.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, are in strong form and are 4th in the table. Here is a look at the latest injury news regarding the two teams, starting with the hosts...

United will be without Scott McTominay, long-term absentee Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen, who has been ruled out for a few months at least with an ankle injury. That forced Erik ten Hag to delve into the transfer market on deadline day to land Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich and he is in line to make his debut against Crystal Palace.

Full-back Diogo Dalot remains a doubt with ex-Eagles man Aaron Wan-Bissaka slotting in for him over recent weeks. Goalkeeper Jack Butland can’t feature against his parent club.

As for Patrick Viera’s side, Wilfried Zaha can’t play against his former team and is out with a hamstring injury and he has joined midfielder James McArthur and defender Nathan Ferguson in the treatment room. Crystal Palace will assess centre-back Joachim Andersen, with Chris Richards doing an impressive job in his place in the past couple of matches.

New signings Naouirou Ahamada and Albert Sambi Lokonga are available to play. It remains to be seen whether they will be thrown straight in from the start or on the bench.

OUT: McTominay (Man U), Van de Beek (Man U), Eriksen (United), Butland (Man U), McArthur (Palace), Ferguson (Palace), Zaha (Palace)

DOUBTS: Dalot (United), Andersen (Palace)
