Doncaster Rovers will welcome Crystal Palace to the Eco-Power Stadium in the FA Cup fourth round on Monday. Doncaster overcame Hull City on penalties in the previous round and Palace defeated Stockport County last month.
The hosts saw their winning streak end after four games on Thursday, as they suffered a 5-2 away loss to Chesterfield in the EFL League Two. Interestingly, they scored at least two goals for the third consecutive match and will look to continue their prolific run here.
The visitors have been in good touch recently, suffering just one loss in their last eight games in all competitions. They lost to Brentford in January in the Premier League but bounced back with a 2-0 away win over Manchester United in their previous outing. Jean-Philippe Mateta was the match-winner, scoring a second-half brace.

The Eagles have enjoyed a good run of form, winning four of their last five games. They have lost just one of their last 10 away games, recording three consecutive wins, and will look to build on that form.
Eberechi Eze will miss this match with a foot injury and Eddie Nketiah is a doubt with an ankle strain. Chris Richards and Adam Wharton face late fitness tests while Chadi Riad Dnanou and Cheick Doucoure are long-term absentees.
