Millwall v Palace – Team news preview

Last updated : 18 February 2006 By Nik Taylor

Palace travel to the New Den expecting to be minus the services of Andrew Johnson.

The mercurial striker is still struggling with a thigh injury that kept him out of the midweek win over QPR, and fellow striker Jon Macken is also out with a knock.

That means starting spots for Clinton Morrison and Dougie Freedman as Palace attempt to take three points from the Lions.

Tony Popovic, Marco Reich and Aki Riihilahti are also out injured, but Fitz Hall and Mark Hudson return after suspension.

Millwall are missing strikers Barry Hayles and Carl Asaba through injury, while Paul Robinson is out suspended.

Probable Palace XI:

Kiraly
Hall Ward Hudson Boyce
Andrews Hughes Watson McAnuff
Morrison Freedman
