After their shock win over Manchester United, the Cottagers will face the Eagles in what promises to be an exciting London derby.

Fulham’s gritty performance against Manchester United ended in a thrilling penalty shootout victory, with Bassey making his mark in regulation time before goalkeeper Bernd Leno stole the show in the shootout.

The Super Eagles defender opened the scoring at the end of the first half, notching his second goal at Old Trafford in just over a year.

Manchester United clawed their way back into the game, with Bruno Fernandes equalising in the second half, forcing extra time, and despite both teams creating chances, neither could find the decisive goal, setting up a tense shootout.

Leno emerged as the hero, saving penalties from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee to secure Fulham’s passage to the next round with a 4-3 shootout win for Marco Silva’s men.

With their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals confirmed, Fulham now turn their attention to a highly anticipated clash with Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, other FA Cup quarter-final fixtures include Manchester City traveling to Bournemouth, Brighton facing either Nottingham Forest or Ipswich, and Championship side Preston hosting Aston Villa.

The matches are set to take place across the final weekend of March, with Wembley hosting the semi-finals and final later in the competition.

For Fulham, the road to Wembley remains challenging, but their display against Manchester United proves they are ready to take on anyone, especially London rivals Crystal Palace.
