Dover Athletic defender Richard Orlu is excited to be facing FA Cup opponents Crystal Palace today.

Dover, of the Vanarama Conference, are unbeaten in 16 games going into the tie.

"This is definitely the biggest game of my life," Orlu said.

"I'm an Arsenal fan actually, even though Palace are my local team.

"I've got friends who are Palace fans and I knew a lot of people who went through their youth system growing up.

"It's the biggest club around where I come from, so if you're one of the best players where I'm from, you play for Palace.

"I was never amongst that to be honest, I never played for them.

"So it will be a bit weird to be on the same pitch as them. It hasn't really sunk in yet, and it probably won't until after the game.

"I know Jason Puncheon a little, he's very friendly; he's a really nice guy and I don't think anyone has a bad word to say about him.

"He's an excellent player as well, he's got great feet and he's a huge threat for them."
