Leeds United

Leeds United suffered a shocking 1-0 loss to Portsmouth in their last game to blow away their lead on top of the table. The loss was their first since losing 1-0 to Blackburn in November 2024. The Whites have now dropped points in each of their last two games and would need to do all they can to bounce back to winning ways if they trully want to win the title. They sit first in the Championship with 76 points in 36 games, scoring 72 and conceding 23. They are with the same points second-placed Sheffield United and dropping any point at the moment might affect their positon on the table. Meanwhile, Ethan Ampadu, Maximilian Wober and Patrick Bamford will not play this game due to injuries.

Millwall

Millwall returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Watford in their last game. Matthew Pollock put Watford ahead in the 30th minute before Casper De Norre equalised in the 59th minute, and Joshua scored the winner in the 81st minute. The Lions have now secured two wins in their last seven games and have lost twice in their last 10 away games. Interestingly, they have defeated the league leaders twice this season. They sit 12th on the table with 48 points in 36 games, scoring 36 goals and conceding 37. However, goalkeeper Liam Roberts will continue to serve his six-match suspension for an erratic kick on Jean-Philippe Mateta against Crystal Palace. Ryan Leonard (unknown), Calum Scanlon (hamstring), Macaulay Langstaff (leg), Camiel Neghli (muscle), Duncan Watmore, and Zak Lovelace are all ruled out due to injuries.
