Crystal Palace v Millwall

Last updated : 15 October 2010 By BBC Sport

Palace have problems up front as James Vaughan is still suspended, while Pablo Counago (hamstring) and Jon Obika (calf) are struggling with injuries.They are also without key midfield duo Darren Ambrose (leg) and Neil Danns (knee), as well as full-backs David Wright (calf) and Lee Hills (knee).

Millwall's Alan Dunne and Liam Trotter are both serving bans.

Jack Smith, a possible replacement for Dunne at right-back, has a calf strain, so Tamika Mkandawire could play there.

MATCH PREVIEW

Struggling Crystal Palace go into the south London derby without a win in their last four matches and having struggled badly in front of goal this season.

Injuries up front have come at the worst possible time for a team that have failed to score in six of their 10 league matches. And no team in the Championship has had fewer attempts on goal than the Eagles, who have managed 89.

Millwall, meanwhile, are without a win in six matches, although their last two outings ended in a credible draw at leaders QPR and a draw at home to in-form Burnley.

Conceding late goals has been a problem for the Lions. No team have conceded more in the final 15 minutes of Championship games this season than Kenny Jackett's side, who have let in six.
