The FA Cup continues on Sunday with Crystal Palace travelling to Doncaster and the Premier League outfit will need to make do without the services of Wilfried Zaha who misses out through suspension. It looks pretty likely that loanee Michy Batshuayi will deputise, having settled in quickly at Palace.

Doncaster have already banked 12 home wins this season, and their league record at the Keepmoat is 9-5-2 so they have turned it into something of a fortress. I can see a real battle ahead for Palace in this one.
The angle here however could well be on the cards front, with certain Mike Dean donning the black shirt for this one. Perhaps the pressure around that 100th Red Card weighed heavily on his shoulders in the Man City v Chelsea match, but he can return to form in this one - expecially if it does turn out to be a close tussle.
Dean has shown 105 yellows and 10 reds in just 25 games this season, and Bet365's Bet Builder is offering 12/5 on both Doncaster and Crystal Palace to be shown Over 1 Card Each. That's a stonking price - it's a bet thats landed in 13 of Dean's 25 games this season, as well as 14 of Doncasters 30 league games this season.
I'd be closer to 13/8 or 7/4 personally, so it's a decent slice of value in this one.
1pt Both Teams Over 1 Card Each at 12/5 (Bet365 BetBuilder)
