# Milivojevic fears another defeat at Man United – how can Palace avoid that?

Crystal Palace will suffer another away day to forget at Manchester United this weekend if Roy Hodgson doesn’t alter his tactics.

The Eagles lost 1-0 at Sheffield United in limp fashion on Sunday, as they remain goalless after two Premier League games this season.

As quoted by the [https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/crystal-palace-star-fears-man-18965163](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/crystal-palace-star-fears-man-18965163)*[Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/crystal-palace-star-fears-man-18965163)*, Luka Milivojevic has expressed concern about his side’s display at Bramall Lane, fearing more of the same at Old Trafford on Saturday:

> We didn’t play good enough, we didn’t create enough. From keeper to striker we were not good enough and that decided it.

> In the second half, we didn’t create and we didn’t control. That surprised me and it was a second half to forget and correct, and to prepare for next week (against United) much, much better – because I think it could be worse than this weekend.

The weekend trip to United is sure to be a tough assignment, as is invariably the case at Old Trafford.

Hodgson needs to change things up in terms of his tactics if Palace are to have a chance of getting anything from the game.

Using Wilfried Zaha up front alongside Christian Benteke at Sheffield United didn’t work – playing the Ivorian in his preferred wide role against his former club makes sense.

Equally, Max Meyer should be moved into a central berth, having failed to make an impact out wide on Sunday.

If things stay the same, Milivojevic’s fears may come to fruition.
