Marc Guehi managed to reach Aston Villa 4-1 demolition at the end of Tuesday, but the English international suffered a minor knee injury in the victory. However, Glasner does not believe that the problem is too serious.
However, the palace will be without three first teams for Millwall’s visit. Chadi Riad and Joel Ward are long -term absences in the backline, with Cheick Doucore also missing in the machine room.
Romain Esse signed during the winter window for the Eagles of Millwall and was given the opportunity to send his former employers out of the competition.
Palace only has two games in March due to a suspended game and the international break, which means that they don’t rest too many this weekend if they can advance up to the last eight FA Cup.
Palace predicted line-up against Millwall (3-4-2-1): Gymnast; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Kamada, Lerma, Chilwell; Sarr, Eze; Nketiah.
Former Fulham defender Joe Bryan was withdrawn against Derby County last time with a foot injury, but should be available on Saturday. However, Dan McNamara is missing with a long -term problem, while Ryan Leonard, Calum Scanlon and Macaulay Langstaff are likely to be missed.
There is more bad news for Millwall, which will be without the Tristan Crama, Aaron Connolly and Benicio Baker-Boaitey triumph.
The former defender of Tottenham Hotspur, Japhet Tanganga, will continue to impress with the Lions, while he should lead the top scorer Mihailo Ivanovic at the other end of the field.
Millwall predicted the line-up against the palace (4-2-3-1): Jensen; Harding, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan; De Norre, Saville; Negli, Cundle, Azeeez; Ivanovic.
Palace will be confident of sealing the progress against a second stage outfit that is fighting for goals – Millwall has scored exactly 34 in just as many games in just as many games and missed some important players.
However, this is the FA Cup, and the shape book goes out of the window when you throw in the emotions that will surely get hand in hand with a fiery London derby. The depth and ability of Palace to deal with the great occasion should let them feel too well, but Millwall will do anything else to let their bellies tickle.
