Crystal Palace return to FA Cup action this weekend as they take on Hartlepool United in the fourth round of the competition at Selhurst Park.
It's been almost two weeks since the Eagles last took to the pitch in the Premier League against Liverpool, with the pause in the domestic calendar giving every team a chance to catch their breath following a hectic festive schedule of games.
They now face the third-lowest ranked side left in the FA Cup in League Two's Hartlepool, who have beaten opposition from leagues above them in each of their games so far.
Graeme Lee saw his team overcome League One sides Wycombe Wanderers and Lincoln City plus second-tier Blackpool to reach the fourth round, with the club rewarded with a Premier League tie against Patrick Vieira's Palace as a result.
The Eagles overcame a stubborn Millwall side 2-1 at the Den to reach this stage, with Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta both scoring for the visitors as they came from a goal down to reach the fourth round.
Vieira should have Wilfried Zaha back and available for the game following his return from the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, though Cheikhou Kouyate, representing Senegal, will miss the match as he prepares for Sunday's AFCON final against either Cameroon or Egypt.
Hartlepool could have some of their new singings on display meanwhile, with forwards Marcus Carver and Omar Bogle plus midfielders Joe White and Bryn Morris all joining in the last month.
