Man Utd vs Crystal Palace Carling Cup Highlights

Palace last beat United in 1991, however, they may take heart from the fact Ferguson's team have not won in their last two matches in all competitions.


Paul Pogba is set to make his full debut for United, while fellow youngsters Ezekiel Fryers, Ravel Morrison, Michael Keane and Ben Amos have been involved in the run to the last eight and will hope to be handed another chance to impress.
United will also have plenty of first-team experience at their disposal, including Brazilian full-back Rafael, who is in line to make his first appearance of the season after a shoulder injury.
Freedman faces a selection quandary ahead of kick-off at Old Trafford in what will be the first of two matches in the space of 48 hours.
Palace host Derby in the Championship on Friday night and Freedman admits there is no way he can play the same side with the games so close together.
The likes of goalkeeper Lewis Price, defender David Wright, midfielders Jonathan Parr, Darren Ambrose and Kagisho Dikgacoi and strikers Jermaine Easter and Steffen Iversen are available for recalls.


Palace, though, are plotting what would be a major upset and boss Dougie Freedman would like to get one over on Ferguson after admitting he did not much care for his fellow Scot during his time as Aberdeen manager.
Ferguson split up the dominance of Rangers and Celtic, and Freedman, who supports the former, is therefore keen for revenge.
But Palace have not won in five matches in the Championship, while United are unbeaten in their last 13 meetings with the Londoners.
