Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira looks ahead to the upcoming FA Cup tie with Stoke City, insisting their preparation will be the same.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has looked ahead to their upcoming FA Cup fixture against Stoke City.

The Eagles will take on the Championship side this Tuesday in the fifth round of the competition, with each club battling for a place in the final eight.

Despite playing a team in a lower division, the Crystal Palace boss is looking at the game the same, but he is hoping to progress in the FA Cup, which he won as a player.

"There is still a long way but the tie is at home and that is massively important. Regarding the team (opposition) being in the Premier League or Championship, the difficulty is going to be there and the challenge is still there. There is no easy game in the cup," Vieira told the press.

"We need to be ready mentally and approach it with the same intensity and competitiveness that we approached the last game with in the Premier League. There are no differences in how we will prepare the game and how we will approach the game or in the starting XI that I will put on the field."

Crystal Palace were held to a 1-1 draw with Burnley in their most recent outing at the weekend.
