Crystal Palace vs Millwall – Predicted lineup and team news

Crystal Palace host a London derby against Millwall in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, aiming to build on their unbeaten start to the season.

While their league form has been solid, the Eagles will view this cup tie as an ideal opportunity to find their attacking rhythm after a series of low-scoring draws.

This Carabao Cup fixture represents a timely opportunity for Oliver Glasner to manage his squad ahead of a demanding schedule that includes upcoming European fixtures.

It offers a chance not only to rest established starters but also to give competitive minutes to fringe players looking to stake their claim. Any strong performances against their London rivals would provide the manager with welcome food for thought and increase the depth of his selection options.

Oliver Glasner will make several changes from the side that drew with Sunderland at the weekend. This rotation is necessary due to injuries to key players like Adam Wharton, Ismaïla Sarr, and Eddie Nketiah.

The rotation will see goalkeeper Walter Benítez and defender Jaydee Canvot handed their first starts for the club. Canvot is expected to start in a much-changed backline, with the experience of captain Marc Guehi retained to guide them.

Will Hughes and Justin Devenny are expected to feature in midfield. Further forward, the changes could allow Romain Esse and Daichi Kamada to supply chances for striker Jean-Philippe Mateta.
