Crystal Palace winger Schlupp set sights on run to 'special' FA Cup final
20th February 2019
Crystal Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp has set sights on playing in the FA Cup final at Wembley after spurring the club to a 2-0 triumph over Doncaster Rovers in the fifth round on Sunday.
The Eagles drew a step closer to the climax as goals from the Ghanaian and Max Meyer propelled them into the quarter-finals at The Keepmoat Stadium.
"We obviously knew if we got past this round, we'd be in a good position to get to Wembley," Schlupp said.
"Of course this is a special tournament and hopefully with the luck of the draw we might get a 'lesser' team, if that's what you want to call it, to have a better chance of getting through.
“But obviously any trip to Wembley is special and hopefully we can do that."
Watford will host Crystal Palace in the last-eight tie.
The quarter-final games will be played from 15-18 March, with winning clubs receiving £720,000 in prize money.
