Referee:- C.N. Seel, Carlisle.

Terry Venables' young side, promoted from the Second Division last season, have taken the First Division by storm and now are in third place behind Manchester United and Liverpool. Many of the players have come through the very successful Palace youth side, but the signing of former England skipper Gerry Francis from Q.P.R. has added much needed experience.

United on the other hand were having a very poor season and had slumped to eighteenth place in the table. There proved to be very little between the two teams on the day and the experiment of playing full back Kevin Hird in midfield paid off for United when he scored the deciding goal.
