Manchester United will be targeting a first Premier League away win since February when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Monday night.
United were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley at Old Trafford last time out. Dropping two points meant United missed out on the opportunity to tighten their grip on sixth spot. They head into this weekend's fixtures one point ahead of seventh-placed Newcastle United.

Erik ten Hag's side can achieve that via a sixth place finish or by beating Manchester City at Wembley to win the FA Cup.
