For entertainment value alone, there are not many more exciting Premier League sides than Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace. On Wednesday, the south Londoners take on Manchester United hoping to secure back-to-back home victories for the first time this season.

Manchester United themselves have finally hit a rich run of form and most recently defeated title rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford by a narrow 1-0 margin. With confidence increasing on a weekly basis, can Pardew mastermind an inspiring Eagles performance against the Red Devils?

Three points could prove invaluable to the club's season and maintain some distance between themselves and the relegation fight they currently find themselves in thanks to a poor run of results.

We here at FootballFanCast believe Palace are capable of beating the 13-time Premier League winners and here are THREE reasons why they might just claim what would be a significant result against Jose Mourinho's men...

Zaha out for revenge

At the moment, Zaha has recorded more assists in the Premier League than any other English player. In fact, only seven players have been involved in more goals throughout Europe this season than Zaha has been for Palace.

The former Man United player made little impact at Old Trafford and given his recent run of form, who would bet against Zaha severely damaging his old side's aspirations for a first Premier League crown in four seasons?

A goal against his ex-club may see many question whether Man United were right to sell the winger.

Unpredictable Palace

If there's one thing that remains consistent for Crystal Palace is the team's unpredictability. Far too often the club goes into a game expected to lose and end up coming away with a positive result.

Games against seemingly weaker teams prove a task too difficult for the Selhurst Park-based club which only adds to their unpredictability.

A result against United would further prove the argument and only a fool would rule Palace out of this contest before kick-off.

Man United struggle against London-based teams

In five games against London opposition this season, Manchester United have failed to win four of their matches.

That gives Palace hope of securing a victory over the Red Devils, and they will hope to emulate both Watford and Chelsea, who overcame United on their previous two trips this season.

Despite the win against Tottenham on Sunday, Palace will fancy their chances of adding to Mourinho's woes in London.
