Macclesfield FC vs. Brentford: What's the story?

Macclesfield FC produced one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history in the third round, somehow managing to record a 2-1 victory over the holders Palace.

At the time, the hosts, who play in National League North, were ranked 117 places below their Premier League opponents, making it the biggest upset in the history of the tournament in terms of league places, and it was a famous, famous result for the club.

John Rooney's side will now be looking to claim another Premier League scalp in the shape of Brentford in order to reach the fifth round of the competition.

Brentford have never been past the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, last reaching the final eight in 1988-89, but they are potential dark horses for the trophy this term, with the Bees enjoying an excellent campaign in the Premier League.
