Crystal Palace make the short trip to Fulham this lunchtime in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
The London rivals are one step away from a Wembley semi-final, as both teams chase a maiden FA Cup – and major trophy – success. With only Manchester City having lifted the FA Cup in the last 66 years among the remaining eight teams, it’s a fascinating quarter-final lineup.
Palace are aiming to reach a second semi-final in four seasons after making the final four in 2021/22, where the Eagles lost to Chelsea.
