The rivals of London Crystal Palace and Millwall go to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday at the Selhurst Park.
Meetings between these former opponents have been few and very far in recent seasons, with a single competitive clash in the last decade. Eagles came out triumphantly on that occasion, surpassing Millwall 2-1 at Fa cup In January 2022.
Oliver Glasner’s side will undoubtedly be huge to reach the quarterfinals this weekend, given his impressive form and his upper template. They have won seven of their last nine games in all competitions, although their two defeats during this spell reached the floor of the house in Everton and Brentford.
Currently, the Lions are in the middle of the table in the championship after another mediocre campaign, with the side of Alex Neil with an external trait of reaching the play-offs. His trip to the Cup has seen them conquered to Leeds United and Dagenham and Redbridge so far.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the London derby.

Marc Guehi managed to reach the end of the Demolition on Tuesday 4-1 of Aston Villa, but the International of England suffered a lesser injury to his knee in the victory. Glasner does not think the problem is too serious.
However, Palace will not be without three first teams for Millwall’s visit. Chadi Riad and Joel Ward are absent in the long term on the bottom line, with Cheick Doucoure also in the engine room.
Romain Esse signed Millwall’s Eagles during the winter window and was able to deliver the opportunity to send his former businessmen out of the competition.
The Palace has only two games in March due to suspended equipment and international rest, which means that it is unlikely to rest too much this weekend as they move forward until the last eight of the CUP.
Palace Predicted Fine Vs Millwall (3-4-2-1): Turner; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Musoz, kamada, motto, chilwell; SAR, the eze; Nikeiah.
Fulham’s former defender, Joe Bryan, was retired before the score against Derby County for the last time with a foot injury, but should be available on Saturday. However, Dan McNamara is absent with a long -term problem, while Ryan Leonard, Calum Scanlon and Macaulay Langstaff are likely to be lost.
There is more bad news for Millwall, who will be without the triumvirate of Tristan Crama, Aaron Connolly and Benicio Baker-Boitey.
The ex -Defense of Tottenham Hotspur, Japhet Tanganga, will appear as he continues to impress with the Lions, while the scorer Mihailo Ivanovic should lead the line at the other end of the pitch.
Millwall predicted the line in front of the palace (4-2-3-1): Jensen; Harding, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan; Of Norre, Saville; Neghli, Cundle, Azeez; Ivanovic.
The Palace will be confident of sealing the progression with a second level team fighting for goals: Millwall has scored and awarded exactly 34 in so many games in the championship in this term, and lack some important players.
This is the Cup, however, and the form book goes out of the window when the excitement is launched that will surely come from the hand with an ardent derby from London. The depth and ability of the palace to handle the great occasion should resist -in good place, but Millwall will do anything than to tickle to tickle.
