Currently 13th in the league, Palace clinched their place in the fourth round after a 2-1 south London derby victory over Millwall, with Michael Olise inspiring a battling second-half comeback.

While Hartlepool may be the third-lowest ranked side left in this year's tournament, they can nevertheless point to the fact that they've already seen off opposition from higher divisions in the previous rounds. They beat League One's Wycombe Wanderers, Lincoln City and Championship outfit Blackpool to reach this stage.
