Confirmed United XI vs Palace: Mount, Zirkzee, Dalot all start

Mason Mount starts for Manchester United this lunchtime as Ruben Amorim’s men face a tough Premier League tie away to Crystal Palace. Mount is one of a couple of changes from the head coach after a dismal home defeat to 10-man Everton last time out. Here is the confirmed XI for today’s game. Defence Senne Lammens is in goal. The back three is unchanged, with Leny Yoro starting on the right, Matthijs de Ligt in the centre and Luke Shaw on the left. Harry Maguire is still out injured, while Lisandro Martinez is on the bench. Patrick Dorgu drops to the bench and is replaced by Diogo Dalot at left wing-back. Noussair Mazraoui also misses out, with Amad returning to the right wing-back role. Midfield and attack Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are once again in the midfield engine room. Bryan Mbeumo is on the right side of the attack. Josh Zirkzee continues at centre-forward and Mount takes up the left forward role. Matheus Cunha didn’t make the game after his freak injury but Amorim said he will be back for Thursday’s match against West Ham. Benjamin Sesko will be out a little longer. Substitutes Altay Bayindir is the substitute keeper. The rest of the bench is: Dorgu, Ayden Heaven, Tyrell Malacia, Martinez, Mazraoui, Kobbie Mainoo, Manu Ugarte and Shea Lacey. Kick-off at Selhurst Park is at 12 noon. A win could take United up to sixth in the table, ahead of today’s opponents. They currently lie in 12th.
