Crystal Palace and Watford will fight it out for a place in the final of the FA Cup this weekend. Both teams have been in dreadful form since the turn of the year and will be looking to end their season on a high.
This weekend’s game at Wembley will be a great chance for both sides to win some silverware. Quique Sanchez Flores and Alan Pardew are under immense pressure at the moment and this could be a defining game as far as their long-term futures are concerned.
Crystal Palace have only won five games in 2016 in all competitions, and four of those have come in the FA Cup. The Eagles will be looking to keep up their good run of form in the cup competition. Watford are on a similar run as well in the FA Cup this year.
Neither sides have won the FA Cup before and will be looking to get to their first final in more than two decades.
