Carabao Cup: Crystal Palace and Millwall renew rivalry to be 'first in south London'


Carabao Cup: Crystal Palace and Millwall renew rivalry to be 'first in south London'

When the draw for the Carabao Cup third round was made, all eyes were on who would face League Two Grimsby Town after their famous shootout win over Manchester United.

As well as the Mariners' trip across Yorkshire to face Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, another tie caught the attention.

On Tuesday (20:00 BST), Millwall will make the six-mile journey to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in a south London derby for the latest installment in a long and heated rivalry.

Palace's prolonged stay in the Premier League has meant there have been only two meetings between the sides in the past decade.

But it is one that carries great significance for both sets of fans, says Eagles fan and podcaster Alex Pewter.

"I'd argue that Millwall is Crystal Palace's only true London derby," the FYP podcast, external host said.

"To other teams in London, Palace aren't even secondary in their thoughts - perhaps they even are behind West Ham for Millwall. But this is the match to define which team is first in south London."
