Manchester United will begin our defence of the Carabao Cup by hosting Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Tuesday 26 September.

The 20:00 BST kick-off, live on Sky Sports, will see Erik ten Hag lock horns with Roy Hodgson, with the Eagles having been eliminated from last season’s competition by Newcastle United.

WHATS’S THE KEY TEAM NEWS?

For United, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire and Mason Mount were not involved in our 1-0 win at Burnley on Saturday. However, Raphael Varane came off the bench in the second half, along with new signing Sofyan Amrabat, who made his debut. Donny van de Beek was also among the substitutes.

Fellow loan arrival Sergio Reguilon was replaced in the latter stages of the fixture, with Ten Hag confirming afterwards to TNT Sports that the Spaniard’s withdrawal was due to illness, that he still played through.

Kobbie Mainoo was seen running at Carrington last week, while Mount and Maguire are both back in training with the first team. Long-term absentees Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Amad remain out, while Jadon Sancho and Antony are unavailable.

For the visitors, Marc Guehi returned for the Eagles in their 0-0 draw against Fulham on Saturday, while they remain without Michael Olise, James Tomkins, Jefferson Lerma and Matheus Franca.

BACK-TO-BACK CLASHES

United will face Crystal Palace in back-to-back games, with our next outing in the Premier League also coming against the same opponents on Saturday 30 September.

With a chance to progress in the Carabao Cup, Ten Hag will be no doubt keen for his side to put on a show as we begin our defence of last year’s trophy.

HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD

The Reds have faced Palace a whopping 63 times in our history, coming out on top in a staggering 40 of those clashes.

Our last League Cup meeting was way back in 2004, during the fourth round, with goals from Louis Saha and Kieran Richardson helping United on the way to the next stage of the competition.

Ten Hag’s side were 2-1 winners during our Premier League home clash last season, with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford securing victory.
