Southampton Draw Crystal Palace In FA Cup
Saints didn’t get the worst draw they could have got in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, but they could have hoped for a lot better, but you have to beat a few good team to get to the final.
Saints will visit Selhurst Park for a second time this season when they take on the Eagles of Crystal Palace in the FA Cup 3rd round, a home tie would of course have been better or even one of the lower ranked teams away from home for those who like to visit grounds they haven’t been to, but as they say you have to beat some of the good teams at some point.
So a trip to South London will be tough but we can go there with confidence, although we lost in the League there , we really should have got something and with a new manager in place we will hopefully have picked up by the time we get to January.
The draw in full is.
