MILLWALL will face a home tie against Derby County in the third round of the FA Cup if they can overcome Staines Town in next Tuesday’s second round replay.

The 2004 finalists are just 90 minutes away from a Den clash with Nigel Clough’s struggling Championship outfit if they can get the better of battling non-leaguers Staines following yesterday’s 1-1 draw between the duo.

Crystal Palace will travel north to take on fellow Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday.

The tie will no doubt delight former Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock, who is guaranteed to receive a hostile reception from the Owls fans.

But the ex-Blades chief will enjoy nothing more than putting one over his old foes as Palace look to secure a fourth round date.
