Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner played down talk of a trip to Wembley before his side’s visit to Doncaster but it will firmly be on his radar now.
Having watched a largely second-string Liverpool tumble out of the FA Cup on Sunday and witnessed the likes of League One Leyton Orient give Manchester City a scare, the Austrian selected a strong starting XI and was rewarded with an efficient performance.
The Eagles simply had too much quality for a side 58 places below them in the English football pyramid and on a wet and windy evening in South Yorkshire there were also plenty of other positives for him.
Midfielder Adam Wharton lasted over an hour as he continued his return to full match fitness after a long lay-off.
And he also had the opportunity to introduce exciting teenage winger Romain Esse from the bench and give on-loan left-back Ben Chilwell his first taste of senior football since September, after he was frozen out at Chelsea.

Yesterday evening’s victory for Crystal Palace marked just the third time in the past nine seasons that they have reached the fifth-round or beyond.
It’s not quite the barren run they once had though. Between 1945-46 and 1963-64 they didn’t go beyond the third round once. That was until a run to the quarter-finals in the 1964-65 season.
They are yet to land the honour of being crowned FA Cup winners, though they have reached the final twice. First in 1989-90 and again most recently in 2015-16.
Both times they were defeated by Manchester United.
Crystal Palace moved into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable victory at League Two Doncaster Rovers.
Daniel Munoz tapped in the opener for the visitors when Jean-Philippe Mateta’s effort, from a well-worked free-kick, struck the post and rebounded into his path off home forward Billy Sharp.
Midfielder Justin Devenny added the second for Oliver Glasner’s side after the break, running on to Will Hughes’ lofted pass and superbly lobbing Doncaster goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe.
The Eagles will now host Millwall in the fifth round on the weekend of 1 and 2 March.
Finally on the papers this morning, the Times have Pep Guardiola’s admission that he doesn’t know whether Manchester City can beat Real Madrid based on their recent form.
They also ponder whether Erling Haaland can overcome his Madrid “curse”, the usually-prolific striker has failed to score or assist in four games against the Spanish giants.
The concerns ahead of the tie are not all one-sided, though, and the Mail go with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti saying Manchester City are still giving him “nightmares”.
They also report that Bukayo Saka has provided Arsenal with a boost after returning to strength and conditioning training as he steps up his recovery from a hamstring injury.
More Manchester City v Real Madrid chat on the back page of the Guardian.
They lead on Pep Guardiola saying it will be “impossible” for City to keep Los Blancos’ front four of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jnr, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappe under control for the entirety of their Champions League tie.
Tonight’s glamour tie in Manchester is also prominent in the Telegraph and they have City boss Pep Guardiola admitting he is unsure which version of his side will show up against defending champions Real Madrid.
They also have a line on the proposed football regulator, reporting that the Conservative Party have withdrawn their support for the bill.
We start with the Mirror, who go with Ruben Dias saying that Manchester City can “outgun” Real Madrid in their huge Champions League play-off tie.
The first leg is at the Etihad tonight.
Thank you for joining us this fine (dank, cold) Tuesday morning!
As ever, there is plenty to discuss in the world of football. On the agenda today is reaction to more FA Cup action last night, with Crystal Palace advancing, and Plymouth being handed another chance of a giant-killing in the fifth round.
We’re looking ahead to the start of the Champions League play-off round with the small matter of Manchester City v Real Madrid this evening, while we’ll also hear from Arne Slot and David Moyes ahead of tomorrow’s Merseyside derby.
The game at Goodison Park is Liverpool’s game in hand as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Following the conclusion of round four, those that have progressed know that they are just three wins away from a place in the FA Cup final.
While it sounds far more simple when sat here writing it than it is in practice – there is a big opportunity for some of those less fancied teams to progress.
With the Premier League’s top two in Liverpool and Arsenal already out of the competition at this early stage – many will be viewing this as a ‘now or never’ opportunity.
Aston Villa, Man City and Crystal Palace all have favourable draws against Championship opponents but after seeing Arne Slot’s side fall to Plymouth Argyle in round four, they will be fully aware that nothing is a given.
There is already one second-tier team guaranteed a place in the quarter-final as Preston host Burnley in the fifth round while Cardiff City, Millwall and Plymouth will all be fighting to ensure they aren’t the sole representative.
