da poker: Crystal Palace have a very thin squad, which is only about to get thinner thanks to the departures of Jonny Williams and Jason Puncheon to Charlton and Huddersfield respectively, so Roy Hodgson will not want to risk many of his first-team stars against Grimsby in the FA Cup third round.
da pinup bet: As a result, the Eagles will most likely rotate their side from the one that was victorious at Molineux against Wolves on Wednesday night, which could see rare chances handed to some fringe players in red and blue.
One of those who will be desperate for a look in, even more so after witnessing his former academy teammate Aaron Wan-Bissaka excel in senior football, is England Under-17 World Cup winner Nya Kirby.
The 18-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for the Eagles, but is rated highly by those at the south London club as well as those in the England set-up.
With that in mind, would you like to see Kirby handed a start against Grimsby? Have your say down below…
