Alan Pardew has revealed he expects to sign a new deal with Crystal Palace before the FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Pardew will put pen to paper on a new contract that will keep him at Selhurst Park until 2020.

His current contract expires in 2018 but the manager has been rewarded for securing Palace’s Premier League status and guiding the club to the FA Cup final.

The 54-year-old said today: “I think we are probably going to do it before the game [against Man United].”
