Millwall v Crystal Palace live stream, Saturday 8 January, 12.45pm GMT
Millwall and Crystal Palace will renew hostilities when they go head-to-head in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Palace's participation in the Premier League for the last nine seasons means they have not played their south London rivals for the best part a decade. Their last meeting was a 0-0 draw at The Den in April 2013, as Palace edged closer to a place in the play-offs. They have not last any of their last four games against the Lions, although Millwall have been defeated in just one of the last 11 matches between the pair.
Patrick Vieria has done a fine job at Selhurst Park this season. Palace played pragmatic, safety-first football for much of Roy Hodgson's tenure, but Vieira has already succeeded in making them more proactive and attack-minded. The threat of relegation has not completely subsided, but Palace look well positioned to finish comfortably in mid-table.
The Eagles reached the FA Cup final in 2016, but they have been knocked out in the third round in three of the last four seasons. It remains to be seen how seriously Vieira will take the competition, but he will have to make do without Jordan Ayew, Cheikhou Kouyate and Wilfried Zaha for this third-round clash. Those three players are at the Africa Cup of Nations, while James McArthur is out injured.
Millwall sit 11th in the Championship at present, and a late run for the play-offs remains a possibility. They are unbeaten in their last five games at The Den, and Palace can expect to be greeted by a ferocious atmosphere from the home fans.
Millwall boss Gary Rowett will be unable to call upon the services of Jed Wallace, Daniel Ballard, Ryan Leonard and Connor Mahoney for the visit of Palace, who suffered a 3-2 defeat by West Ham last time out.
Kick-off is at 12.45pm GMT on Saturday 8 January, and UK viewers can watch live on ITV. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
