Manchester United have named their team to face Crystal Palace this evening.

Monday’s draw with Southampton has made Champions League qualification a much trickier proposition; an issue Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could have done without ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea.

Due to the injuries suffered against Southampton, John O’Kane believed Solskjaer may change his formation as he has done before.

“Ole has also gone to a back three in the past to compensate for injuries and I think that would be my way to go forward to tighten up at the back – bringing in Bailly for a bit of no-nonsense defending,” O’Kane said in his column for this website this week. “We’ve seen that before – it gives a bit of cover at the back, and isn’t negative as it pushes the full backs on. It would give the opportunity for Matic to have a rest and also Greenwood, who came up against an experienced full-back in Ryan Bertrand who didn’t give him a kick. Mason will have to learn from this because he’s already shown he’s no longer an unknown quantity. The top four is still there to be achieved. It will probably go to the last game and then we’ll really get an answer to whether these players can handle the pressure of playing for United.”

Solskjaer, meanwhile, stressed he would give those injured players every chance to prove their fitness.

“I’ll give Luke [Shaw] as much time as possible – him and Mason, their ankles are swollen and a bit blown up,” Solskjaer told ManUtd.com. “I’ll give them as much recovery time as possible to give them a chance. Brandon [Williams] should be fine, he has a gash over the eye but if he can see out of it then… we’ve not trained obviously this morning yet but we’ll hopefully have two, maybe all three of them.”
