Manchester United will open the Premier League day against Crystal Palace at 2pm GMT, with United starting a centre‑forward and Palace likely to defend deep and centrally. Analysts suggest Mbeumo could step inside on his left foot to deliver lethal crosses to the back post, while Bruno may slip passes down the sides of the outside centre‑backs, with wide players targeting space behind the wing‑backs.
Other early fixtures include Brighton vs Forest and Fulham vs Spurs, all live updates available on Bluesky and via the official mail service.
