Jackett relishing Eagles test

Millwall manager Kenny Jackett wants to stand "toe-to-toe and slug it out" with London rivals Crystal Palace in Saturday's derby clash at Selhurst Park. Jackett led the Lions to promotion via the play-offs last season, but his side have won only three games in the npower Championship and will be chasing their first win in eight starts. Kenny said: "I want to be able to stand toe-to-toe and slug it out with them. "I'm quite new to the division and it's both very close and very open. "There hasn't been a Millwall v Crystal Palace game for a few years because we haven't been in their division, so we've closed the gap on them in terms of status. "Now in a one-off type of game we want to prove we can do well again, as we do in all of our games in the Championship."
