Lineups confirmed as FA Cup holders face non-league side

FA Cup winners Crystal Palace begin their defence at non-league opposition as they take on Macclesfield in a lunchtime kick-off.

Palace beat Manchester City at Wembley back in May for their first major trophy.

Oliver Glasner would love another cup run but has a stretched squad and has made plenty of changes.

It is the first time the cup holders have faced non-league opposition since 2005 when Manchester United needed a replay to beat Exeter.

Macclesfield play in the National League North – the sixth tier of English football.

Macclesfield team news

Former Manchester United full-back Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is on the bench for the Silmen as is top scorer Danny Elliott.

Macclesfield XI: Max Dearnley, Luis Lacey, Sam Heathcote, Rollin Menayese, Lewis Fensome, Luke Duffy, Josh Kay, Paul Dawson, James Edmondson, D’Mani Mellor, Isaac Buckley-Ricketts

Crystal Palace team news

As expected Glasner makes changes with main striker Jean-Philippe Mateta not involved. Captain Marc Guehi does start, though, as youngster Joel Drakes-Thomas gets a chance to impress.

Crystal Palace’s last FA Cup tie against a non-league side was in 2014-15, when they beat Dover Athletic 4-0 in the third round. They’ve won their last six against non-league teams in the competition since losing 3-1 to Yeovil Town in 1963-64.

Crystal Palace XI: Walter Benítez, Marc Guéhi, Chris Richards, Jaydee Canvot, Borna Sosa, Kaden Rodney, Adam Wharton, Justin Devenny, Yéremy Pino, Joél Drakes-Thomas, Christantus Uche
