Key Players To Watch: Crystal Palace vs Millwall

Jean-Phillipe Mateta (Crystal Palace) The Frenchman will likely start due to Nketiah's injury, and the Frenchman will be keen to find the back of the net given the horrific challenge he was on the end of during the FA Cup tie last season, that left him having to wear protective head gear for the rest of the campaign.

Jake Cooper (Millwall) Millwall's captain will be tasked with marking Mateta, and with 7.8 clearances per game, two ball recoveries on average and one clean sheet this season, he is best equipped to do so out of any of Millwall's defence.
