Palace beat Manchester City 1-0 in May, thanks to Eberechi Eze's goal, to clinch the FA Cup, the first trophy in the club's history.

On Sunday (AEDT), it enters the competition at the third-round stage, with a tie away to Macclesfield Town as it looks to begin another deep run.

Twelve of the past 13 holders have progressed from the third round, with Arsenal the exception in 2017-2018 when it lost 4-2 to Nottingham Forest.

But Glasner is taking no notice of the added expectations on Palace, with his eyes firmly on another trophy.

"I don't feel any pressure being the holders," Glasner said. "It was the first trophy for Crystal Palace in 160 years, so to replicate it would be – I don't know the words.

"Maybe if you can do it for the first time in 160 years, you can do it for a second time the following year. It would be an incredible achievement.

"We start every competition with the goal to win it, especially a Cup competition. It takes five or six games to win it; you win a trophy and play European football again.

"We're still in three competitions – the Premier League, of course, the [UEFA] Conference League in the knockout stage and now the FA Cup. I like the knockout stage, I always say 'do or die'.

"We will go to win the trophy again, but it's not about defending the trophy. Defending is always a bit passive; we want to win something, not defend it. And we don't need to defend it, we have won it, it's ours.

"The title will always stay in Crystal Palace history books, and now it's winning another. That's a positive goal, and that's what we want to do."

However, Palace will be without Jean-Philippe Mateta for the Macclesfield game as he continues to manage a knee issue.

Glasner said the decision for Mateta not to travel is precautionary and is simply to give him some rest.

"Everything's under control, but we don't want to risk that he plays on astro [turf] and it gets worse. That's why he stays in London," Glasner said.
