Manchester United v Crystal Palace live stream: Red Devils on best winning run at Old Trafford for six years, but Eagles prove recent bogey side as Marcel Sabitzer is in line for debut – kick time send-off, team news and how to listen on talkSPORT

Manchester United will be looking for a fourth straight win to bolster their first four Premier League hopes when they host Crystal Palace this weekend.

The Red Devils have been without a top-flight win since their Manchester derby triumph in mid-January but have bounced back in style.

Erik ten Hag had his momentum slightly stifled after conceding late goals in a 1-1 draw with Palace and a 3-2 loss to Arsenal.

United have since bounced back with a 3-1 FA Cup win over Reading between the two, progressing comfortably to the Carabao Cup final after successive wins over Nottingham Forest.

The club have won their last five home games in the Premier League, but have drawn two and lost two in their last five meetings with Palace.
