Millwall v Leeds Utd Match Thread
6th November @19:45 | The Den
In-form Leeds face a tricky trip down to Bermondsey on Wednesday evening, home of Neil Harris' Millwall.
Daniel Farke's side are on an unbeaten run of eight straight games and are the only team in the Championship unbeaten away from home. The game itself won't be straight forward. The hosts have been in fine form as of late, winning their last three games, most noticeably last weekend against Burnley.
The Whites have won four out their last five meetings against the Lions. Piroe's brace followed by Rutter's thunderbolt in the last encounter at the Den (last season) have hopefully given them the confidence they need to tame the Lions. But let's not forget, history and form often have an odd relationship in football.
Daniel Farke isn't expected to make too many changes to the team that destroyed Plymouth at the weekend. Joshua Guilavogui and Manor Solomon will continue to pick up minutes in their quest for peak fitness.
Right wing-back Jaidon Boyle will return to action after his one match ban, with Sam Byram returning to the bench. Max Wober could return to the bench after his thigh injury. Strikers Joe Gelhardt and Patrick Bamford continue to nurse knocks and are unlikely to make the trip. Ilea Gruev and Ethan Ampadu are ruled out until after Christmas.
Lions duo Tom Bradshaw (striker) and Adam Mayor (winger) are both recovering from hamstring injuries, and are not expected back in action until after the International break. Left-back Joel Byran serves a one-match suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the season against the Clarets.
Midfielder Billy Mitchell (thigh) remains doubtful, whilst Shaun Hutchinson and Josh Coburn (both back injuries) are pushing for a return to action.
