Written by: Matt Hill

Crystal Palace host Millwall in a London derby to kick off Saturday's FA Cup fifth round action.

Adam Drury picks out 11/10 and 10/1 bet builders for the lunchtime game.

Crystal Palace to win

Palace are absolutely flying, winning seven of their last nine games in increasingly convincing fashion.

Oliver Glasner's side have beaten Fulham and Aston Villa very convincingly in the last week and seem to be back in the groove that earned them so many plaudits at the end of last season.

Glasner has taken the cup competitions seriously all season, too, leading his side to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals and fielding strong sides against Stockport and Doncaster in the FA Cup so far.

Millwall are in solid enough form in the Championship but this is likely to be too big an ask.

Daniel Munoz to take 1+ shot

This bet has won in 15 of Munoz's last 18 Premier League appearances, including in all of his last five.

In the FA Cup, he has also had at least one effort on goal in both matches so far.

Glasner's use of wing-backs is a huge part of the way Palace attack and his right-sided player should have plenty of joy against Championship opposition.

Daniel Munoz to make 2+ tackles

We're backing the same player in the tackles market, with this pick also winning in both the Stockport and Doncaster ties.

The bet has won in 10 of Munoz's last 11 Premier League matches, with the numbers reaching four, five and six on a fairly regular basis.

We have every faith he can give us at least another two to win us the first of our bet builders.

Casper De Norre to be shown a card

Adding De Norre produces a juicy price for us to stick 0.5pts on.

The Belgian is a key presence in Millwall's midfield, charged with disrupting the opposition with tackles and interceptions.

He has made at least two tackles in 21 of his last 23 games and has committed a foul in 16 of them.

Against a higher class of opposition, De Norre's tenacious tendencies can see him into the book.
