Crystal Palace-A

Get over your personal feelings about Alan Pardew or cheerleaders at football matches. Crystal Palace deserves to be applauded for what they’ve done through 12 games. Alan Pardew has presided over a min-Renaissance at the club and has them in the thick of the Europa League chase.

The wise acquisition of Yohan Cabaye to pull the strings of the attack has allowed Pardew to really unleash his pacy wide men to maximum effect. They may not be the prettiest side, but they are quite effective. If they can find a striker solution in January they may threaten for more than just the Europa League. Nonetheless, they get an A for their substantial success thus far.
