Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
After holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw in the local derby, Crystal Palace will look to return to winning ways when they face Stockport County in the FA Cup round 3. The Eagles are seen as hot favourites to beat the League One side at their Selhurst Park, but boss Oliver Glasner must warn his men against complacency. Both Eddie Nketiah and Daichi Kamada are pushing for a start, while Will Hughes and Adam Wharton are unlikely to be risked.
The Hatters, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Mansfield Town and given their four-game winless run in the League One, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. When the two teams met in the Championship back in 2002, Crystal Palace recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stockport County. Wales midfielder Macauley Southam-Hales is widely expected to return to Stockport’s starting XI.
