Crystal Palace are unbeaten in five meetings with their South London rivals, most-recently prevailing 2-1 at the Den in this competition three years ago.
However, the Eagles have won only one of their las eight meetings with Millwall at Selhurst.
Crystal Palace vs Millwall Preview
Crystal Palace have reached two FA Cup Finals in their history, beaten by Manchester United in both 1990 and 2015, but supporters are dreaming of going all the way this time round. To get this far, the Eagles have so far dumped out both Stockport and Doncaster, with Daniel Muñoz and Justin Devenny the scorers on a Monday night in South Yorkshire in round four.
Meantime, Oliver Glasner's side are also in excellent form in the Premier League, most-recently hammering Aston Villa 4-1 on Tuesday night; Ismaïla Sarr bagging a brace, while Jean-Philippe Mateta continued his red-hot form, before Eddie Nketiah scored his first league goal for the club, lifting a huge weight of his shoulders. This means the Eagles have won five of their last seven league matches, losing only four of 19 outings since mid-October. So now, can Palace beat their fierce South London rivals and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for only the fourth time in three decades?
Millwall meantime were runners-up in '04 and beaten semi-finals nine years later but, considering they haven't featured in the top division since 1990, this is a rare afternoon in the spotlight for them. The Lions have beaten Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 and bitter rivals Leeds 2-0 in the cup so far, with Femi Azeez's double at Elland Road sparking wild scenes of celebration from the away congregation.
Meantime, in the EFL Championship, Alex Neil's team are 12th, hoping to make a late play-off push, considering they're just six points adrift the all-important dotted line. Last time out a week ago, Josh Coburn's 95th minute winner saw the Lions snatch victory over Derby at Pride Park, ending their three-match winless streak. Now, will those making the eight mile journey south from Bermondsey to Selhurst on Saturday having a famous cup upset to celebrate?

Crystal Palace Team News
Oliver Glasner has picked strong lineups throughout both domestic cup campaigns this season, thereby expected to do the same here too. Matt Turner is likely to get a rare opportunity in goal, making just his fourth appearance for the club, but that's the only rotation that's guaranteed.
Elsewhere, Ben Chilwell is hoping to start in a Palace shirt for the first time while, following his goal on Tuesday, could Eddie Nketiah get the nod over Jean-Philippe Mateta in attack? Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucouré remain sidelined, while it'll be an interesting afternoon for Romain Esse, who scored with his first-ever touch in the Premier League in January, considering he's only just left Millwall.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Millwall: (3-4-2-1): Turner; Lacroix, Richards, Guéhi; Muñoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze, Nketiah.
