Manchester United v Palace

Old Trafford, Sunday 3.00pm

Sam Allardyce

Team news

Palace boss Sam Allardyce is set to rest Andros Townend, and Yohan Cabaye who have been carrying injuries in recent weeks, but James Tomkins should be fit to face the Red Devils.

Scott Dann is still not fit, so Martin Kelly will continue at centre back.

Manchester United will look to rest a number of their players for this final Premier League game, as they are looking to concentrate on the UEFA Europa League Final against Ajax next week, which will give them an opportunity to play in the Champions League next season if they triumph.

Goalkeeper Joel Pereira is expected to be given his Premier League debut. Youngsters Demi Mitchell, Angel Gomes, Josh Harrop and Scott McTominay could make their senior bows, while Paul Pogba and Timothy Fosu-Mensah will play.

Marouane Fellaini and Chris Smalling have minor injuries and may be rested.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"Whether Jose plays a weakened side or not, it will always be a difficult task because the younger players at Manchester United are definitely very talented.

"The higher you can finish in the league, the bigger and better the prize money, so if we can get a result at Old Trafford then that will be fantastic.

"The club should be interested in the money because it gives us a bigger budget. But the players shouldn't be interested in the money until they've won."

Jason Puncheon (talking to the South London Press)

"It's brilliant for us to go into the final game with no pressure. We would have probably liked to have gone into Sunday’s game without any pressure. But we’ve done it and it’s over now."

Jose Mourinho

"For the kids it will be a great experience to play in the Premier League in the last match of the season.

"It will be a big occasion but I think the best [scenario] for a young player is in the middle of an experienced structure, where he can be supported.

"We have tried to bring the guys who are more adapted to playing at this level at the moment. Lots of them [starting] together, no."
