Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits he'd like a long FA Cup run.

Palace meet Everton in the Third Round.

Hodgson said: I've got to say that there have been times in my career here where I've been more concerned about the 'staying in the league' factor, not just because we have a fairly healthy margin.

More to the point, I think we have a good team and I think this team is going to be more than good enough to keep us in the league, so I don't have to worry quite so much about that balancing act as maybe I have done at certain times in the past.

It would be nice to have a Cup run. It would be nice to do well. We're certainly going to have a go at it and I expect, especially given the way things have panned out this year, with the way the mid-season break has gone, that we'll be able to play this game, give everything we need to give in this game, and still recover in time for the next one."
