Millwall v Palace

the Den, Saturday 3.00pm

Andy Johnson

Team news

JOHNSON was studded in Palace's encounter with Sheffield Wednesday last weekend. Jon Macken limped off in the midweek win over QPR with a back injury and is unavailable.

It means Dougie Freedman and Clinton Morrison will be the Eagles' strikeforce at the Den.

Tony Popovic (back), Aki Riihilahti (groin) and Marco Reich (ankle) are sidelined.

Fitz Hall and Mark Hudson are back after completing bans.

Millwall defender Paul Robinson is suspended and Barry Hayles (knee) and Carl Asaba (back) are both missing. Alan Dunne returns after completing his suspension.

Palace old boys

None

The influential, versatile midfielder is a key piece to a crumbling Millwall puzzle. He holds the team together with solid displays and his passing generally finds the right man.

The former Arsenal trainee has the ability to put in 'meaty' tackles and win the ball with much tenacity. With Palace being back down to the bare bones again, we may struggle against someone that plays with passion and commitment.

Although Livers is rarely getting himself on the score sheet, he does well to stop opposing players from managing it. He breaks down attacks in midfield and has recently been playing his trade in defence.

He has plenty of experience with Millwall and will be well aware of what Millwall V Palace means to alot of the supporters. Dave should have no trouble helping the team develop their fighting spirit - even if it is only for this game before their inevitable relegation.
