Manchester United ended a two-and-a-half month wait for a home league win by beating Tottenham 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s first Premier League goal was enough to see off Mauricio Pochettino’s side at the weekend, and it means that United are now just three points behind Spurs, who currently occupy fifth place.

Jose Mourinho has been pleased with how well his side have played in recent weeks, but the results haven’t matched the performances, with Red Devils having won one of their previous eight league games, drawing six.

However, that victory on Sunday could be the perfect platform for United to go on and challenge for the top four, but they’ll need to back up that win over Spurs with another one against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

The Eagles drew 3-3 at Hull on Saturday, but did end a run of six straight defeats by beating Southampton 3-0 in their last game at Selhurst Park.

Alan Pardew’s men have scored 27 goals this season, more than any side outside of the top four, and will provide a stern test for Mourinho’s men on Wednesday.

With West Brom coming up at the weekend, Mourinho may shuffle his pack at Selhurst Park, so here are THREE players who deserve a chance on Wednesday…
