Manchester United will go in search of their 10th successive victory in all competitions when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils dented Manchester City's title ambitions with a 2-1 success in the derby on Saturday, where Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford cancelled out Jack Grealish's opener.
Erik ten Hag's men now hold a five-point lead over Tottenham Hotspur - who have played a game more - in fourth place, and a nine-point gap to leaders Arsenal is hardly impossible to make up.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Palace, who suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last time out.

Marcus Rashford took a knock to the hip in the Manchester derby, although he played through the pain until being taken off in stoppage time. The England international's issue is not thought to be a serious one, and he should be in contention to feature in midweek.

Diogo Dalot was a casualty of Man United's EFL Cup quarter-final win over Charlton Athletic last week with a hamstring problem; the right-back was unable to take part against City and is not expected to recover in time for the trip to Selhurst Park either.
