Aston Villa host Crystal Palace in the replay of their fifth-round FA Cup tie tonight. The first meeting between these two teams ended in a 2-2 draw after Villa twice came from behind, equalising in the 87th minute to force a replay. Palace, however, were furious as the goal came from a corner that should in face have been a goal kick. The cash-strapped Eagles hardly needed any more motivation for this match, however, and may fancy their chances with Martin O'Neill having to think ahead to his team's Carling Cup final against Manchester United this weekend.
