Doncaster Rovers will hope to cause another FA Cup upset as they host Premier League opposition in Crystal Palace.

The League Two side pipped Hull on penalties in the third round to earn this tie, and will hope to carry good form in the league into this encounter to continue their cup run.

The visitors, meanwhile, were 1-0 victors over Stockport in first outing of the FA Cup campaign, but have found a bit of a groove of late after a slightly shaky start to the season.

With a couple of big teams falling in the fourth round, a route to Wembley could yet open up for either if they can emerge out of this clash.
