James McArthur expecting "very tough" Manchester United clash

James McArthur expects Crystal Palace to be given a "very tough" test against Manchester United at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur has admitted that his side face a "very tough" match against Manchester United at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Both teams have lost their last three games in the Premier League, though it is United who have more to play for as they chase a top-four finish.

McArthur is confident that the Eagles can upset Louis van Gaal's side, but the Scot believes that they will be made to work hard for a positive result.

"I think it's going to be very tough, but we like these games," he told the club's official website. "We like the games where there's no pressure on you, where you can go to Stamford Bridge, Manchester United can come here or you can go to Anfield with no fear.

"We've got a belief in the changing room that we can get results, we've got that real, solid base and from that we've got so much pace, power, ability and we can hurt anyone in the forward areas."

McArthur has scored two goals in 30 appearances for Palace this season.
