Crystal Palace looked doomed for relegation after just 7 games into the season, but the appointment of Roy Hogson has brought about a change of fortune for them.
However, the form that took them off the foot of the league table has been missing in their past few games and they head into this game with no wins from their last 5 games.
With Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool as their opponents within the next few games, their fans would be hoping they don’t go back into the bottom 3.
They are currently 17th in the league table with just goal difference separating them from the bottom three.
Manchester United should be in confident mood heading into this game after their surprising 2-1 win to Chelsea last weekend.
That followed a 0-0 draw in their Champions League game against Sevilla last week.
They remain second in the Premier League table, but they have lost their last two away games and this game offers them an opportunity to change that.
They have won 5 of their last 8 away games, keeping clean sheets at Burnley and Everton.
Lukaku has scored 6 goals in his last 8 games.
