    Millwall v Leeds United
    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.

    Be nice to get a winning run going. Always hated this fixture but seemingly perception given we’ve won 4 of the last 5.

    You're correct to hate the away fixture, last 7 WDL

    Not too much fannying about from Meslier would be nice. Watched their game on Sunday where they pressed very hard from the front (think Langstaff was their number 9 and he chased like a dog). They also harried midfield a lot to try and unsettle Burnley. That does mean they can be caught at the back. Cooper has the turning circle of a barge but will be a nuisance in our box. Must have liked his Weetabix as a kid, that is some unit.

    Having said all of that, Bryan being out is a big plus, always been a really good player. Head and heart both say 2-0 :emoticon-0148-yes:

    This is going to be a tricky game, you feel we need a win but a draw is respectable

    More chance of them spotting it in here than their own board ;)

    Going to be a tough physical battle and will be interesting to see where we are in these games now because last season we got outmuscled in many of these physical battle games away from home. bottled the challenges and wanted to spend most of the time on the floor. going to be hostile with cockney fans breathing down their necks heckling them. saying that we are deffo the better team. scumwall won't sit back there fans won't let them meaning we will get space to play some counter football which is still our strong point. They are strong in the air and dangerous on set pieces but we have got plenty going for us aswell should be a good feisty game as always and nowt better taking 3 points here. Will be really good to see us take 6 points from our next 2 games before the international break and we have every chance of taking them.

    Harris has built a strong squad with like for like players in every position, Tanganga commands the defence effortlessly, Saville and De Norre are the engine in midfield, Azeez is proving to be a great signing, Esse is pure class and Langstaff is a handful upfront its only a matter of time before he starts scoring regularly, our secret weapon is Ivanovic who is going to be a superstar.
    I don't like doing predictions but if Millwall can ruffle Leeds up early it's a winable game.<cheers>

    Quite a strong line up and a stronger bench with no Gelhardt.
