Manchester United will adjust their formation with a center-forward against Crystal Palace's deep, central defensive approach. The tactical battle is set to focus on United's ability to create space behind Palace's wing-backs while Palace looks to contain United's attacking threats.
Analysts expect Mbeumo to step inside onto his left foot and deliver crosses to the back post, while United will likely play through Bruno Fernandes, who will attempt to slip passes down the sides of Palace's center-backs to exploit the space behind their wing-backs.
