Crystal Palace vs Grimsby Town
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Selhurst Park
Date: Saturday, 5 January, 2019
Kick-off: 5:30pm GMT
Crystal Palace will kick-start their FA Cup campaign when they host League Two Grimsby Town at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
The Eagles, beaten finalists in 2016, could well do with a Cup run in south London after a season and a half of underwhelming League football.
This hosts will, at least, be hoping for an improvement on last season when their journey was over in the third round, losing away to rivals Brighton.
