Crystal Palace v Millwall: FA Cup fifth round - live

now 07.44 EST 28 min: It seems to be going from bad to worse for Millwall as Neghli is down with an ankle injury. The winger appeared to twist his ankle while attempting to block a cross from Chilwell. He is on his feet, but he doesn’t look comfortable. Share

2m ago 07.42 EST 26 min: Hughes drills a cross to Eze in the box, who forces a good save from Jensen with his shot. Millwall struggle to clear their lines as Palace flood the box with bodies, but the hosts can’t make the most of the chance. Share

5m ago 07.40 EST 23 min: Nketiah sets the ball to Eze on the halfway line and the attacking midfielder does well to carry it forward, weaving in and out of opposition players. He eventually plays it back to Nketiah, who goes for goal but Tanganga gets a touch on it and Jensen can make the save. Share

8m ago 07.36 EST 20 min: Chance for Millwall! Harding sends a long throw into the box and the ball is flicked on by Tanganga. Crystal Palace fail to deal with it and it bounces straight through to Turner, who is forced into an awkward save. Share

11m ago 07.34 EST 17 min: Palace have the ball in the net… but it won’t count! Nketiah brings it down in the box before slamming a half-volley into the top corner from close range, but Michael Oliver immediately rules it out for a handball from the striker in the build-up. Share

15m ago 07.29 EST 11 min: Looking back at that challenge, it’s absolutely baffling that Michael Oliver chose to play-on. For the challenge itself but also because Mateta quite clearly suffered a concerning head injury. The striker is still receiving treatment on the pitch. Share

20m ago 07.25 EST 9 min: There is still some major concern for Mateta here, who remains down after that horrific collision with Roberts. Share

21m ago 07.24 EST RED CARD (Roberts) It’s a nightmare start for Millwall as Roberts sees red for that clumsy challenge on Mateta. Share

22m ago 07.22 EST 6 min: Hughes sends the ball through to Mateta and Roberts comes out to make the clearance. The goalkeeper gets a touch on the ball but completely clatters into the striker and kicks him in the face.

38m ago 07.07 EST Millwall head coach Alex Neil has instructed his team not to be “reckless” during their FA Cup clash with Crystal Palace. He said: “They’ve got guys that are worth, what, 40, 50, 60 million pounds. So what we don’t want to do is go there and be gung-ho and be reckless because I think at that point that’ll play in their favour. “But we want to go there and be really competitive, we want to play on the front foot, we want to make sure that we assert ourselves on the game. We’re not daft, we know we’re playing against a really good side. “I think earlier on in the season, and I’m not comparing the two teams, but we went to Leeds when they were favourites and I thought we performed really well. Again we went with a game plan and we carried it out really well so this game will be similar in terms of I think it’ll be a high quality game with good players on the pitch and hopefully we can do ourselves justice.” View image in fullscreen Millwall head coach Alex Neil Photograph: David Klein/Reuters Share

44m ago 07.01 EST “Palace are in buoyant form, solidly placed in the league and a potent presence in this side of the draw. Millwall are safely lodged in the Millwall Zone of the past few seasons, eternally six to eight points off the Championship playoffs. It seems fair to say Saturday’s Cup tie is the biggest event in the calendar for either of these teams as the season starts to narrow to its end point.” While we eagerly await kick-off, click here to read Barney Ronay’s take on today’s derby.

48m ago 06.56 EST Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is expecting a “big football party” when Millwall arrive at Selhurst Park this afternoon. He said: “I’m expecting a great game. A sold-out Selhurst Park and lovely weather is predicted. I think that’s why we all love football. It’s the FA Cup, Saturday, High Noon, so everything that we want. Everything is ready for a big football party.” Asked if he believes the atmosphere will be the fiercest he’s ever faced, Glasner responded: “No I don’t think so. Winning the Europa League was the best cup competition I ever played. We won it in the end with the last penalty. Goosebumps on the whole body and hoping the last player scores. And winning at Camp Nou in front of 85,000. Unbelievable atmosphere. I think I have faced it many times. But of course it will be a great game, a great atmosphere.” Share
