# Crystal Palace: Fans buzzing over Millwall FA Cup tie

**Crystal Palace will take on Millwall at The Den in the FA Cup third round following the [draw](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59553013) on Monday evening.**

[Matt Woosnam](https://twitter.com/MattWoosie/status/1467934582146314241) shared the news on Twitter, which duly resulted in a number of Eagles fans giving their thoughts on the all-south London tie.

Patrick Vieira’s side [lost](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59380823) their first game of December to Manchester United on Sunday and still have [five](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/crystal-palace/scores-fixtures/2021-12?filter=fixtures) Premier League fixtures before the New Year.

However, once 2022 comes around, the Eagles will be thinking about a cup tie with the Championship side after taking on West Ham on [New Year’s Day](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/crystal-palace/scores-fixtures/2021-12?filter=fixtures).

Palace and Millwall last met back in [2013](https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/millwall-to-host-crystal-palace-in-mouthwatering-fa-cup-third-round-tie/) in the Championship, the year that the Eagles earned promotion to the Premier League. They last faced off in the FA Cup way back in January [1985](https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/millwall-to-host-crystal-palace-in-mouthwatering-fa-cup-third-round-tie/) and will meet again between [January 7 and 10](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59553013).
