Crystal Palace could face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at Selhurst Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup if the Eagles can win a third round replay next Tuesday.
The draw for the next round of the competition took place before Monday night’s FA Cup fixture between Cambridge United and Leeds United, with Palace or Bolton being drawn as the home side against Manchester City.
The fourth round will take place over the weekend of January 28/29th – however, Sam Allardyce’s side will have to defeat Bolton at Selhurst Park in a replay after the two teams took part in a goaless draw at the Macron Stadium on Saturday.
The Eagles face West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday before the FA Cup replay fixture takes place with another home game next Saturday against Everton possibly coming the weekend before Palace’s fourth round tie against Manchester City, if Allardyce’s side can defeat Bolton at Selhurst Park.
Last season, Crystal Palace went on an FA Cup run which saw them reach the final at Wembley, losing to Manchester United in extra time. During the run led by Alan Pardew – the Eagles defeated Southampton, Tottenham, Reading and Watford.
