The winner will return to the iconic venue next month to face either Manchester City or Nottingham Forest. Both teams will be chasing history in the prestigious competition as they have never won the FA Cup before.<\/p><p>For Palace, this marks a golden opportunity to reach their first FA Cup final since 2016. Despite never lifting the trophy, the Eagles have reached the semifinals three times in the past decade. Oliver Glasner&rsquo;s men showed resilience in midweek as they twice fought back to earn a draw against Arsenal, but their winless run has now stretched to four matches.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rely on our togetherness, rely on our spirit, rely on our quality.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CPFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#CPFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M5qqU12BuS\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/M5qqU12BuS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Crystal Palace F.C.
