Palace beat Doncaster 2-0 thanks to goals from Daniel Munoz and Justin Devenny to progress into the fifth round, where they will meet their south London rivals at Selhurst Park.

While the Eagles boss has insisted his focus now reverts back to the Premier League ahead of Saturday’s clash with Everton, Glasner admitted his side simply “have to win” when the Championship outfit visit at the start of March.

“I am told it will be a big derby,” he told BBC Sport.

“The game happened a few years ago? But it is good playing at home and it will be a great game for our fans.

“They will be very aggressive but playing at home to a Championship side means we have to win.

“I want to go to Wembley."

Glasner was also pleased with the performance of Adam Wharton – who lasted over an hour – after a frustrating season on the injury front for the England international.

“Adam Wharton played 60 minutes after a long injury – he was excellent,” he added.

“It was planned for him to 45 minutes but he did so great and felt well, so we did 60.

“Even then, he wanted to play more. Ben Chiwell had his debut and Romain Esse had more minutes.

“It’s important for them. I’m really pleased too that Matheus Franca got a few minutes after nine or 10 months of being injured.

“Winning 2-0, having a clean sheet and with all this individual positive aspect, I’m really pleased with this evening.”
