2020-21 FA Cup

Third Round Proper (Last 64)

8-11 January 2021

Wolves will host top-flight rivals Crystal Palace in a third-round 2020-21 FA Cup tie at Molineux Stadium on Friday evening.  
 
The two teams have already met in the Premier League this season with Wolves claiming a 2-0 win thanks to first-half goals from Ait Nouri and Daniel Podence.

Wolves are four time FA Cup champions, but last reached the final of England's most prestigious cup competition in 1960 when they defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-0 at Wembley Stadium. 
 
Palace have never won the FA Cup and have only reached the final on two previous occasions in their history. The Eagles opened the scoring against Manchester United in the 2016 final but ultimately suffered a 2-1 defeat.

Both teams suffered a third round exit last season, losing to Manchester United and Derby County respectively. 
 
This will be the first FA Cup meeting between Wolves and Palace since 2010 when a hat-trick from Danny Butterfield spearheaded the Eagles to a 3-1 win.
