Manchester United look to regain their hot streak after Southampton stopped them in stunning fashion on Monday.

Michael Obafemi struck in injury time to dent Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's hopes of a top four finish and qualification for the Champions League, with Leicester and Chelsea still above them in the Premier League table. A visit to Selhurst Park, against a Crystal Palace side searching for inspiration with their status for next season long secured, should provide the Red Devils with a fine opportunity to regain their edge.
