Millwall vs Crystal Palace preview
It’s been nine years since Millwall and Crystal Palace faced off in a competetive match and the fortunes of both south London clubs has been very different.
The hosts found themselves in League One two season’s after that 1-0 defeat to bitter rivals Palace at The Den but have become a Championship mainstay since 2018.
Boss Gary Rowett has stabled the ship at the Bermondsey club and has them currently in 11th place and seven points off the play-off positions.
With that said, Palace have gone from strength-to-strength after their last meeting with the Lions, having gained promotion in that season and have remained in the Premier League since.
Patrick Vieira has taken over and given the club a new lease of life which has seen them move to 11th in the table and only ten points off the top six, and more importantly 12 points above the bottom three.
Millwall will be desperate to get one over their old rivals and the FA Cup provides the perfect opportunity with end-to-end action expected. However, with Palace the superior team and Millwall missing a few players through injury, we see the Eagles soaring into the fourth-round.
