Today's Prediction

Alan Pardew has a right to feel aggrieved by Crystal Palace’s dropped points on Saturday. They went behind to a penalty from Robert Snodgrass after a blatant dive, one which would have seen him pick up a second yellow card had the referee spotted it. Instead they took the lead and kept 11 men on the pitch, with the game eventually ending 3-3 after an 89th minute Fraizer Campbell equaliser.This made it one draw, one win, and six defeats for Crystal Palace in their lasteight games, but the entertainment that has been involved in these games is off the scale. Palace have scored 16 goals in these eight games, including ten in their last three. At the other end of the pitch they have conceded 21, with all but one of these games ending with at least three goals scored.Manchester United managed to get a narrow but ultimately deserved win over Tottenham on Sunday thanks to Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s first half goal. This extends Manchester United’s unbeaten streak to eight matches in all competitions, with five of those ending in victory and that resulting in progression in the Europa League.The visitors also have the advantage of having an excellent head to head record against Crystal Palace. They have won five of their last six meetings and haven’t lost in the league to them since 1991, so Alan Pardew could be infor a long evening on Wednesday.Manchester United are still vulnerable at the back though, especially away from home. They have managed just two clean sheets in their seven away days in the Premier League this season, but they have managed to score themselves in five of these too.Crystal Palace have scored in all but one of their home matches as well, and considering their fantastic form going forward I would expect them to get at least one goal on Wednesday.There’s a good chance this goal will come from Christian Benteke. The Belgian striker scored again at the weekend to take his tally to eight for the season, with four of those coming in his last three games. He looks an excellent choice for our anytime goal scorer predictions.
