Fellaini, Jones and Valencia start for Man United against Crystal Palace
Even with Paul Pogba sidelined with a long-term injury, the FC crew agree Man United can keep pace in the Premier League. Roy Hodgson confirms Christian Benteke has suffered medial ligament damage, which will keep him out for at least six weeks. Ian Darke weighs in on Crystal Palace's winless and goalless start to the Premier League season.
Marouane Fellaini, Antonio Valencia and Phil Jones are fit enough to return for Manchester United against Crystal Palace.
The trio missed the midweek clash with CSKA Moscow but have been named in Jose Mourinho's starting XI to face Palace.
Anthony Martial drops to the bench.
Romelu Lukaku, who has scored 10 goals in nine games for United, passed a fitness test before before being named in the team.
David De Gea, Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Matic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan keep their places from the 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow in Russia.

For Crystal Palace, Bakary Sako comes in to replace Christian Benteke, who is out with a knee injury.
Palace are yet to register a point or score a goal in the Premier League this season.
It is United's last home game before a run of four away trips after the international break against Liverpool, Benfica, Huddersfield and Swansea in the Carabao Cup.
Mourinho wrote in his programme notes ahead of the game: "This is our last home game for almost a month.
"We are going into a tricky, difficult period and we know we cannot always win every match, especially with such a sequence of fixtures away from home, but we all know this special group of players will try to do that."
