It is a repeat of last season's FA Cup final at Selhurst Park, as Crystal Palace entertain Manchester United. This time, Alan Pardew will hopefully keep his dance moves to himself.

He may struggled to contain himself, however, if his side manage their first league win over United in 25 years on Wednesday. Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, will hope to build on Sunday's big win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Kick-off: 8.00pm

It’s a big game for…

Paul Pogba: United’s world record signing had arguably his best performance for the club against Tottenham at Old Trafford and could’ve had a hat-trick if it weren’t for Hugo Lloris and a slice of bad luck. The Frenchman will be the Red Devils main creative threat without the injured Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Weird /best stat…

25: Palace haven’t beaten United at Selhurst Park in a league game in 25 years ago, their last success was a 3-0 win coming in May 1991.

Remember when…

Crystal Palace 1 Manchester United 2 (AET) FA Cup final, May 2016

Jesse Lingard provided Palace with some more cup final heartache with a sumptuous volley deep in extra time to secure United their first FA cup triumph in 12 years.

Player to watch…

Wilfried Zaha: Although Palace are in a rut, with two goals in his last three games, Zaha certainly is not. The rapid winger scored one of the goals of the season against Hull on Saturday and looks as if he is finally starting to live up to his potential. The Eagles winger to be a massive threat on the flank against his old club.

49 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 1 SWANSEA 0:

West Brom break the deadlock in the way that West Brom do so well. Salomon Rondon rose highest when Matt Phillips swung a set-piece into the Swansea box, and left Lukasz Fabianski with no chance as he powered his header home. It's a fifth Premier League goal of the season for the Venezuelan striker.

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:06

68 mins: GOAL! MIDDLESBROUGH 0 LIVERPOOL 3:

Divock Origi returns the favour of moments ago, and Adam Lallana has his second and Liverpool's third! Finding more joy down the right flank, the Belgian crossed low, two Middlesbrough defenders decided that was as good a time as any to take a nap, and Lallana slotted in.

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:11

Best of friends.

Are Divock Origi and Adam Lallana the new Gary Lineker and Willie Thorne?

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:14

61 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 2 SWANSEA 0:

A first Premier League double for Salomon Rondon! A beautiful outswinging cross from Chris Brunt found the head of the Albion forward, and he planted a beautiful effort into the bottom left corner.

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:18

63 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 3 SWANSEA 0:

A hat-trick for Salmon Rondon! A 13-minute hat-trick for Salomon Rondon! A 13-minute hat-trick of headers for Salomon Rondon! After Matt Phillips was crowded out on the edge of the box, Chris Brunt swung a deep left-footed over which Rondon looped into the top corner past Lukasz Fabianski. Sensational scenes!

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:19

63 mins: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 2 HULL 0:

And now Christian Eriksen has a double! The Dane was in the right place at the far post to convert after Kyle Walker had worked his way down the right and centered.

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:20

Don't even burgle Salomon Rondon's house...

He's in good company.

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:21

66 mins: GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 1:

James McArthur equalises at Selhurst Park! The home side had been pressing more and more in this second half, and they have their reward. An impudent flick from, of all people, Damian Delaney sent, of all people, McArthur free inside the penalty area. Having escaped from Pogba, the Scot kept his cool and sidefooted past David de Gea from close range.

Sam Dymond14 December 2016 21:24

70 mins: DISALLOWED GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 1:

Manchester United's players are fuming! Seconds after having appeals for a Crystal Palace handball inside the penalty area waved away, they have now had a goal chalked off - and it should have stood! Marcos Rojo headed down for Juan Mata to slide home, but celebrations were immediately cut short by the linesman's incorrect flag on the near side.
