Crystal Palace 3-1 Millwall - FA Cup 2024/2025 Statistical Preview

Marc Guehi will be assessed owing to a knee issue sustained in the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace. Having played the full 90 minutes, the centre-back should be fit to start against Millwall on Saturday.
That leaves just Chadi Riad, Cheick Doucoure and Joel Ward as Crystal Palace's only confirmed absentees here.
Oliver Glasner may go with the same XI that started the 2-0 win at Doncaster in the last round, which would see Justin Devenny start alongside Daichi Kamada in support of Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Romain Esse, who joined Palace from Millwall in the January window, will hope for a chance to feature against his former employers.

Joe Bryan and Raees Bangura-Williams are both doubts for Millwall this weekend, and Alex Neil will hope to have the former fit to start at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Ryan Leonard, Macaulay Longstaff and Calum Scanlon are all missing for the Lions due to injury, while Aaron Connolly is ineligible for the Lions.
Liam Roberts impressed between the sticks in the 2-0 win at Leeds in the last round and may be given the chance to start.

Prediction

Crystal Palace made it four wins from their last five as they trounced Aston Villa 4-1 at Selhurst Park on Tuesday night. The Eagles don't have a great record at home this season, however, but will feel confident about securing a second successive victory in front of their own fans when they face Millwall for the first time since 2022.
The Lions did end a three-game winless run with a 1-0 win at lowly Derby last weekend, though conversely; Alex Neil's side have lost only one of their last nine. That sole defeat was a surprise 5-1 thumping at Plymouth in mid-February, and Millwall are in good form on their travels ahead of their short trip across the capital having won four of their last six away matches.
Nevertheless, with the form Palace are in, they should book their place in the next round of the FA Cup, though Millwall won't make things easy for the high-flying Eagles.
