Patrick Vieira said he was pleased to get a home draw against Hartlepool United in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but insisted he would be making no exception to playing lower-league opposition and would field his strongest side.
The Eagles progressed through the third round of the FA Cup for the first time in three years when they overcame a tricky Millwall side 2-1 at the Den last week.
Vieira named an almost full-strength starting XI for the tie but still saw his side struggle against the Lions who led at the break courtesy of an early goal from Benik Afobe.
