Millwall boss Neil Harris could stick with the side that has guided them to a 14-game unbeaten run. The Lions have been unchanged in eight of their past nine games, but Aiden O'Brien, Tom Elliott, Fred Onyedinma, Tim Cahill and Ryan Tunnicliffe are all available. Bristol City boss Lee Johnson may bring in Callum O'Dowda and Matty Taylor. Taylor is back after a hernia problem, while O'Dowda had an injection in his ankle and is still to be passed fit. SAM's prediction Home win 46% Draw 28% Away win 26% I RECKON ( as SAMS rarely correct ) H 36% DRAW 30% A 34% Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol: "We have to re-write our story in our heads. We've got six games to go now and the most important one is Saturday. "They're a tough team but let's go and enjoy it and play our game, with some thrust. Let's be dynamic. "Hopefully we'll take it right to the wire, and I'm excited, because we've got some good players and we have just got to make sure they bring it to the table." Match facts This will be the first meeting between the sides at the Den since New Year's Day 2013, a 2-1 victory for Millwall. The Robins have not lost back-to-back league visits to Millwall since November 1981. Only Fulham (18) are on a current longer unbeaten run in the Championship than Millwall (14). This is their longest run, exclusively in the second tier, since a 15-match streak ending in October 1971. Bristol City have won just two of their last 11 league games (D5 L4), and have not won away from home in the league since beating Sheffield United in December. Steve Morison has assisted Lee Gregory five times so far this season, the most by one player to another in the Championship. No Bristol City player has created more chances (53) or provided more assists (8) this season than Jamie Paterson.

No arguments from me about the side, it's exactly what I'd hoped for. LJ has dropped his captain and gone at last with the side/formation pre Christmas.
A lot of possession and huff and puff from City in the first half, but they have done nothing with it. Far far too many long balls, both forwards and diagonally across the pitch. Cant recall the keeper making a save. We will be lucky to finish in the top 10 if we carry on like this.
In late October I really believed we were pretenders for promotion, but from what I have seen over better part of 2018 we are now just pretending to play football. What the hell happened?
I can't see the playoffs anywhere in our future because we now need 2 wins whilst Middlesbrough need to lose 2 on the trot. The bunching around the final 2 spots in the playoffs is very close and based on what we are producing (or not) I just can't see us crossing that line especially when you consider we have trouble finding the goal line. If you find the odd miracle lying around please send it to Lee.
Are you the first to say it's time to go RR? We have been utterly disgraceful since the turn of the year and I haven't seen any valid attempt to rectify the problems by Lee or those above him and the words we heard from our leaders in late 2017 seem to have a very hollow sound right now. Yes we had some tremendous success but you live and die by the standard "what have you done for us lately? The regrettable answer to that is just about nothing.
Relegation form since the end of 2017. Even mid table form might have sneaked us a playoff spot. We've well & truly blown it. What a waste.
its almost as if they are on a bonus not to qualify for the top 6! none of their transfer fee's are going to be much now we had to win against MILLWALL OR SINK AND WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR
Other than the Man City games, it's all been a bit depressing the past few months.........coming on here just seems to make it worse.
