Millwall

Millwall suffered a 2-0 loss to Leeds United in their last game just after they enjoyed a weekend, when they secured a 2-1 win over Watford. They have now lost three of their last four games and are winless in six of their last eight. The Lion have failed to create fear for teams even at The Den, where they have only won twice in their last seven games. They sit 13th on the table with 48 points in 37 games, scoring 36 goals and conceding 39. However, Ryan Leonard (unknown), Calum Scanlon (hamstring), Macaulay Langstaff (leg), and Camiel Neghli (muscle) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
