The match is one of several early Premier League fixtures today, with Brighton versus Forest and Fulham versus Spurs also underway. Michael Carrick provides analysis, suggesting United's approach may involve utilizing a center-forward against Palace's likely deep defensive setup.
Carrick anticipates Palace will defend centrally and deep, potentially creating opportunities for United to play through Bruno Fernandes with passes down the sides of Palace's center-backs, while wide players look to exploit space behind the wing-backs.
