Crystal Palace to face Doncaster away in the FA Cup fifth round

Crystal Palace will take on Doncaster Rovers away from home in the fifth round of the FA Cup, it has been confirmed. 

The Eagles have occupied one of the remaining 16 slots in the competition and will be desperate to advance beyond this stage and into the quarter-finals.

Roy Hodgson saw his side overcome Grimsby Town with a narrow 1-0 win in the third round at Selhurst Park but saw his team turn in a comprehensive display in the subsequent fixture in their FA Cup campaign.

Palace welcomed Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon and were impressive as they came away with a 2-0 win. Connor Wickham netted on his return to the starting line-up, while Andros Townsend sealed the victory with a goal against his former side.

It promises to be a testing encounter for the Eagles in the fifth round against Doncaster, with a cup run certainly possible this season.
