Millwall and Leicester City go head-to-head at the Den on Wednesday for a place in the fourth round of the English League Cup.
The Foxes will be looking to get one over their hosts after falling to a 1-0 defeat in their last encounter when they met in the FA Cup back in 2017.
Millwall failed to return to winning ways last Saturday as they played out a 1-1 draw against Coventry City in round eight of the EFL Championship.
The game was sparked to life after just nine minutes as Viktor Gyökeres broke the deadlock for Coventry City before George Saville restored parity 12 minutes later.
It was the third draw on the bounce for Gary Rowett's men, who shared the spoils with West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City in their previous two encounters.
While Millwall will be looking to find their feet and move into the next round of the EFL Cup, they face the stern test of facing a rampant Leicester City side.
Meanwhile, Leicester City’s early struggles in the Premier League continued as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Brighton and Hove Albion last Sunday.
Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck scored in either half to put the Seagulls in a two-goal lead before Jamie Vardy halved the deficit in the 61st minute.
Leicester City have now failed to taste victory in their last three games in all competitions, picking up one draw and losing two.
Brendan Rodgers will now hope his side can end this dry spell on Wednesday and pick up a morale boost for a fine run of form.
