      Crystal Palace: Drop Gayle, Crowd The Midfield And Shoot From Distance To Beat West Ham

      Tuesday night sees a turgid battle at the bottom of the Premier League when West Ham travel across London to meet Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

      5 Players Who Could Keep Crystal Palace In The Premier League

      3 reasons why a rejuvenated Wayne Rooney staying will help Manchester United

      It’s amazing what a difference a month can make. Going back to the start of August it seemed Rooney was destined for the exit door with Chelsea ready to be his saviour. Jose Mourinho had already publically admitted his interest for Rooney but understandably new manager David Moyes was less than enthused to let him go.
