Crystal Palace vs Manchester United – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Red Devils look to return to sixth position

For the visitors tonight, it’s a crunch encounter in their bid for European football.

If Erik ten Hag stays in his job – and the question marks have been flying for some time now – he wants another big-spending summer to try and help them push up the table and challenge those at the summit.

Starting in 8th place, a win today would move them up to 6th – but a draw would only take them back above Chelsea, after the Blues thumped West Ham yesterday.

Back to one of Moyes’ former clubs in Man United. The Red Devils face a tough challenge tonight against Crystal Palace.

The hosts will be one of the teams hoping the season doesn’t end after a fine run of form under Glasner.

The Eagles are on their longest unbeaten run in the Premier League season having gone four matches without defeat.

The run includes victories over Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham, as well as a draw with Fulham last time out.

Palace are bidding to win a third consecutive home match this evening.

Sticking with West Ham for the moment, let me point you in the direction of Mail Sport’s chief sports writer Oliver Holt’s latest column.

He writes that the Hammers handling of Moyes’ exit has been ‘grubby and unpleasant’ given his success at the club.

Holt also questions whether West Ham should be careful about the appointment of Julen Lopetegui given his track record.

Big but expected news from across London.

West Ham have just confirmed David Moyes will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Mail Sport reported earlier today that Julen Lopetegui has agreed a deal to become West Ham’s next head coach.

What better way for the bank holiday weekend to end with a Monday evening Premier League fixture.

Man United’s trip to Selhurst Park could prove a vital one in the race for European qualification, which has been hotting up in the final weeks of the campaign.

Erik ten Hag’s side currently lie eighth in the table but know victory this evening would move them ahead of Chelsea and Newcastle. The Red Devils could also move to three points of a stuttering Spurs side.

Crystal Palace will be no pushovers though with the Eagles enjoying a strong end to the season under Oliver Glasner.

Stay with us for all the team news and action from Selhurst Park.
