UNITED have something of a midfield crisis, with Paul Pogba, Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini all out.
Long-term absentee Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still someway off a return, leaving Anthony Martial with another chance to impress upfront with Romelu Lukaku.
Paul Pogba looks disappointed as he hobbles off with a hamstring injury during Manchester Uniteds Champions League game against Basel.
Christian Benteke has been ruled out for six weeks and is a major blow to Palaces hopes, with Wilfried Zaha also sidelined.
With Conor Wickham also injured, the striker situation is a real headache for Hodgson.
