Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is under no illusions they face a very different Manchester United tonight.
United arrive at Selhurst Park in a rich vein of form, having won their last seven games in all competitions.
Vieira believes those results have propelled Erik ten Hag's side into the Premier League title race, but argues that, backed by the Selhurst crowd, Palace – who have won three of their last six games against United – can emerge victorious on Wednesday.
Vieira said: “When you look at the last couple of games [Manchester United have] played, the number of wins they had and how close they are to the top [of the table], I think they can be [in a title race].
“It's a different United [to the one we beat last season]. What will be important for us is to play like we did [against Chelsea]: with a lot of intensity and with a lot of discipline.
“At home, in front of our fans, if we manage to play the kind of game we played [against Chelsea], we will have more chance of winning the game."
