Comments and predictions for Crystal Palace vs Millwall: Oppressing the weak

Latest Crystal Palace vs Millwall team information

Crystal Palace's 4-1 win over Aston Villa was a huge boost for the club, but it also left them with a slight worry after interim captain Marc Guehi picked up a minor knee injury. However, manager Oliver Glasner believes he can still feature against Millwall.

Palace's injury situation remains uncertain, with Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucouré both long-term absentees with knee injuries, while Joel Ward is also out with a calf problem. If Guehi does not recover in time, Nathaniel Clyne could be deployed at centre-back.

In midfield, Will Hughes has picked up 10 yellow cards in the Premier League and is suspended, but that will apply to the game against Ipswich Town, so he could still feature in the FA Cup.

Former Millwall man Romain Esse is in line to face his former club but is likely to start on the bench. Meanwhile, Palace are expected to feature in attack with Ismaila Sarr and Eberechi Eze, supporting Eddie Nketiah, who scored his first Premier League goal of the season in midweek.

On Millwall's side, they suffered a big loss when three players Aaron Connolly, Tristan Crama and Benicio Baker-Boaitey were all ineligible to play due to cup ties.

The good news for the visitors is that Dimitrios Goutas returns from suspension to bolster his defence. Joe Bryan, who was forced off with a cut in the Derby game, could feature if he recovers. Millwall are also hopeful that Ra'ees Bangura-Williams will be available after missing the last game.

However, Ryan Leonard (unspecified injury) remains a big question mark, while Dan McNamara will continue to be absent long-term with a knee injury.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Millwall football review

Crystal Palace are eyeing the FA Cup as a major target this season, and manager Oliver Glasner has not been shy about fielding a full-strength squad to try and win the competition, as evidenced by wins over Stockport County and Doncaster Rovers, where they kept clean sheets and were solid.

Saturday’s game is only the second time in the last six seasons that Palace have reached the fifth round of the FA Cup, but the Selhurst Park side will be confident having won their last three games in this round, since losing to Liverpool a decade ago.

Having reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 2021-22, Palace are in good form to repeat that run. A convincing 4-1 win over Aston Villa not only lifted spirits but also marked their fourth win in their last five games, and the eighth time in their last 11 that they have enjoyed a clean sweep.

Palace have also rarely struggled against teams outside the Premier League, losing just one of their last 10 FA Cup games against lower-league opposition – a surprise defeat to Derby County in 2019-20.

Millwall made a big impression when they reached the FA Cup final in 2004, but have only made it past the fifth round three times since then. This season they have overcome Sheffield United and Stoke City, with the dramatic Stoke game going to penalties.

Alex Neil's side took advantage of Leeds United's rotation in the fourth round to secure a crucial win thanks to a Femi Azeez brace, but were then beaten 5-1 by Plymouth Argyle, showing their lack of consistency.

However, Millwall recovered with draws at West Brom and Preston before beating Derby 1-0 on 22 February thanks to Josh Coburn's injury-time winner.

However, history is not on Millwall's side as they have not won away to a top-flight side in the FA Cup in 30 years, the last time they did so was a 2-0 win against Arsenal in 1995. In addition, in their most recent FA Cup encounter with Crystal Palace (2021-22), they also lost 1-2 to the Selhurst Park team.
