Crystal Palace assistant manager Keith Millen is confident that his team will pose tough competition for Liverpool in their FA Cup fifth round tie tomorrow.
The Reds visited Selhurst Park twice last year, once in May last season and once in November this year, but failed to enjoy any kind of luck in both matches, drawing the first 3-3 and the losing the last one 3-1.
And Millen is confident that the situation will be no different this time around as well.
What will give the 48-year-old even more confidence is the fact that the Eagles have been in decent form of late under new manager Alan Pardew and have lost only one of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Millen though reveals that his team remain cautious about the change of formation that Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has opted for of late, which has brought about improved form for the Reds.

"They play a different formation now, but the last two times that they've come here they've had tough games", Millen said at a press conference, via the BBC.
"This is going to be a tough game, they've got a threat going forward, but it's the beauty of the cup tomorrow."
The match will have particular historical significance as it will bring back memories from the famous meeting between the teams in the FA Cup in 1990 when Crystal Palace pulled off a major shock by defeating Liverpool, with Pardew contributing with the winning goal in extra time.
And Millen insists that it would be great to witness a repeat of that performance.
"We want to have another day like that tomorrow.
"I remember the game cheering Palace on, and I'll be doing the same again."
