Crystal Palace are underdogs to win the FA Cup but they were in this position when they famously upset the odds to reach the 1990 final against Saturday's opponents Manchester United.

Back then, aside from Palace fans, no one gave them a chance of beating Liverpool in an FA Cup semi-final. They had lost 9-0 at Anfield earlier in the season but they beat Liverpool 4-3 before losing the final after a replay. That first final ended 2-2 after normal time and you can get 22-1 with BetVictor on a repeat scoreline, while a draw at the end of normal time is 13-5. (That final would end up 3-3 after extra-time)

Alan Pardew’s side must also stop the rot against their bogey team. Palace have beaten United just once in their previous 20 clashes – in 2011 - and they finished 24 points behind them in the Premier League.

BetVictor have chalked up Palace as 9-2 to win the Wembley showpiece after 90 minutes, with United 8-11.

Wilfried Zaha, who left Palace for United before returning to Selhurst Park, is 5-1 to score. Wayne Rooney scored his 100th Premier League goal at Old Trafford on Tuesday in the win over Bournemouth and is 5-1 to break the deadlock.
