Dover Athletic boss Chris Kinnear eyes Crystal Palace upset

Dover Athletic manager Chris Kinnear has declared that his side are in with a chance of causing an upset when they take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

The Whites boss believes that it may be too soon for new Palace coach Alan Pardew to reverse the struggling Premier League outfit's fortunes.

"Alan's arrival means more attention is on the game, we've got a capacity crowd and we can't wait," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"We won't change how we play. Yes, we'll have to defend of course, but we are still going to go for it.

"And why shouldn't we? Wrexham beat Arsenal, Sutton beat Coventry, so maybe now it can be Dover beating Palace - there's a chance."

Dover are currently in mid-table in the Conference Premier.
