Millwall will host Leicester City at the Den on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and now find themselves fighting for survival in the final stretch of the regular season. They were beaten 1-0 by Huddersfield Town in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point before their opponents scored the winner in additional time.
Millwall sit 20th in the league table with 44 points from 41 games. They are just two points above the relegation spots and will be looking to widen that gap this week.
Leicester City, meanwhile, seem to have finally regained their footing and once again have their sights on automatic promotion. They beat Birmingham City 2-1 in their game on Saturday, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scoring the opener before Stephy Mavididi headed home a late winner for the Foxes.
The visitors sit atop the Championship standings with 88 points and will look to strengthen their grip at the top with maximum points on Tuesday.
