Crystal Palace vs Millwall Prediction, Lineups and Betting Tips: Where to watch today's FA Cup game

Saturday's FA Cup action gets underway shortly at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace and Millwall go head-to-head in the fifth round.

With a vastly improved Palace now clear of the relegation battle, they can shift their focus to a strong cup run, facing EFL opposition for the third consecutive round.

Meanwhile, Millwall, who are 12th in the Championship, come into this fixture on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win at Derby.

Read on for our best bets, the starting lineups, and where to watch this London derby.

Crystal Palace cut loose in their midweek win over Aston Villa but their previous six victories all came in low-scoring matches and they could put in another efficient performance to ease past Millwall in the FA Cup fifth round.

The Eagles have been on a remarkable run in away games, with five successive 2-0 wins against Leicester, West Ham, Manchester United, Doncaster in the last round of this competition and Fulham in the league last Saturday.

Before that run began they beat Stockport 1-0 at home in the third round of the FA Cup and another 1-0 or 2-0 win for Oliver Glasner's side would be no surprise.

The midweek demolition of Villa was out of character for Palace at Selhurst Park this season as it was only their third home win in 14 league matches and followed defeats to Everton and Brentford in their previous two South London fixtures.

With four wins in their last five matches and only two defeats in their last 12, they are understandably a short price to dispatch the Lions, but the Championship side are not likely to roll over easily and should keep the score respectable.

Millwall lost 2-1 at Palace in the FA Cup third round in 2021-22 but are yet to concede a goal in the competition this season after beating National League side Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 and then overcoming Championship leaders Leeds 2-0 in the fourth round.

The Lions have lost only one of their last 10 matches and they have mostly been low-scoring with only two of their last nine fixtures generating over 2.5 goals, while eight of the teams' last 11 meetings have ended with two or fewer goals being scored.

Eberechi Eze took Crystal Palace through to the fourth round with his winning goal against League One Stockport. He was given the night off when they played Doncaster in the fourth round but should be in the team this weekend and could be the man to make the breakthrough.

Eze missed out on a goal in the midweek win over Aston Villa but he was lively in that match with four shots at goal and he provided the assist for Jean-Philippe Mateta's goal.

The England international scored against Championship opposition when Palace played QPR in the EFL Cup and should prove a real handful for the visiting defence.
