Hartlepool United manager Graeme Lee has revealed he's had several friends and contacts within the game reach out offering analysis on Crystal Palace ahead of their FA Cup tie on Saturday.
The League Two side will go toe-to-toe with Patrick Vieira's Premier League outfit at Selhurst Park in a bid to reach the fifth round, having already overcome opposition from divisions above them in each of the last three stages of the competition.
The Pools, who are the third-lowest ranked side left in the FA Cup this season, are going to need all the help they can get if they want to beat Palace, with boss Lee admitting in his pre-match press conference that he'd been in contact with several people at the 'top level' of the game willing to offer their support.
