Millwall welcome Leeds United to The Den in a huge Championship clash, as both teams look to ignite their push for promotion.
Victory would see Millwall climb to eighth in the table, whilst Leeds can leapfrog their hosts and go tenth with a win.
Team News
Shaun Hutchinson is ruled out for Millwall after he suffered a calf injury during their draw at Birmingham City a fortnight ago.
Matija Sarkic, George Honeyman (both quad) and Joe Bryan (groin) are doubtful.
Leeds will remain without Patrick Bamford as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
Sam Byram (fitness), Liam Cooper (foot), Daniel James (adductor) and Djed Spence (knee) are doubtful for selection.

Millwall host Leeds at The Den on Sunday 17 September in a 12pm BST kick-off, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Millwall are unebaten in four of their last six meetings against Leeds (W3, D1 L2).
- Leeds are winless in their last six visits to Millwall (D1, L5).
- Millwall have kept clean sheets in four of their last six meetings at home to Leeds.
- Kevin Nisbet has scored in each of Millwall’s last two league matches (W1, D1).
- Leeds have lost each of their last seven away matches against London-based opposition (L7).
Prediction
Consistency has been Millwall’s biggest issue so far this season because with players like Zian Flemming and Kevin Nisbet, they really should be pushing for promotion this season yet something hasn’t really clicked, although they did well to snatch a draw at Birmingham last time out.
Leeds likewise haven’t exactly performed well and were pretty wasteful in their goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday a fortnight ago, which is worrying for a team who should be aiming higher than their current position.
Millwall however has been a tough place for Leeds to visit but the visitors currently seem better at finding those goals, so I do expect this to be scrappy and another draw wouldn’t be too surprising.
Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Leeds
Result: Millwall 0-3 Leeds
