League One side Stockport County heads to Selhurst Park this weekend, aiming to defy expectations and cause an upset against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup third round.
It has been a challenging start to the season for Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace, who endured an eight-game winless run at the beginning of their Premier League campaign. However, the Eagles have found their rhythm, suffering just one defeat in their last nine league matches.
Palace's recent FA Cup record is less than impressive, as they've exited at this stage in four of the last five seasons. The exception was a memorable run to the semi-finals during the 2021-22 season.
Meanwhile, Stockport County, a team that was competing in the National League North as recently as 2019, has climbed the ranks and is now on the verge of League One’s play-off positions. Despite their progress, Dave Challinor's side has hit a rough patch, going winless in their last four outings.
The Hatters have reached the FA Cup third round for the third time in five years but haven't advanced past this stage since the 2000-01 campaign.

Crystal Palace could be without Will Hughes, who remains doubtful after sustaining an ankle injury in the victory over Southampton at the end of December. Additionally, midfielder Adam Wharton is sidelined with a groin issue that has kept him out of action since November.
