USA star Chris Richards is handed his first Premier League start for Crystal Palace against Manchester United as the defender aims to keep out Red Devils debutant Wout Weghorst at Selhurst Park

American defender Chris Richards is set to make his first Premier League start for Crystal Palace after being named in their team to face Manchester United.

Palace are taking on United at Selhurst Park on Wednesday, and Richards has been deployed alongside Marc Guehi at the heart of their backline.

The 22-year-old, who has earned eight caps for USA, will be tasked with keeping new Red Devils striker Wout Weghorst - who is making his debut after joining from Burnley this month - at bay in south east London.
