Crystal Palace vs Millwall LIVE
FA Cup weekend proper kicks with a south-east London derby as Crystal Palace host Millwall at Selhurst Park. There may be just eight miles separating the two teams, but this is just the second meeting between the neighbours in 12 years. The Eagles ran out winners in the FA Cup three years old, but before then met in the Championship in 2013.
The Lions could have not have been drawn against Palace at a worse time this season with Oliver Glasner’s side winning away at Fulham before putting four past Aston Villa in preparation for today’s fifth-round clash. Millwall beat Championship table-toppers Leeds in the last round, but have otherwise toiled during February before sneaking past a poor Derby side last time out.
It has been confirmed that Eagles second-choice goalkeeper Matt Turner will start, as is expected in cup competitions, but Glasner is otherwise expected to name a strong line-up for what could be a feisty clash.
