Worthington Cup

Palace will play Sheffield United away at Bramall Lane in the Worthington Cup quarter final.

It will be a quick return to Bramall Lane for the travelling Palace fans, as the Eagles played United in the league recently and lost out 2-1.

STEVE KABBA who recently transfered from Palace to United, won't be eligable to play in the game after playing for Grimsby in the cup whilst on-loan there.

The full draw is as follows: -

Wigan v Blackburn

Aston Villa v Liverpool

Sheffield United v Crystal Palace

Manchester United v Chelsea

Ties to be played 17/18 December.

A confirmed date will be announced before the weekend.
