Millwall will welcome Preston North End to the Den on Tuesday for a matchday 34 fixture in the EFL Championship.
The hosts were on the wrong end of a 2-1 defeat to Barnsley, with goals from Cauley Woodrow and Michal Helik giving Valerien Ismael's side all three points on home soil.
Preston, for their part, were emphatic in their 3-0 victory against Huddersfield Town. Goals from Brad Potts, Ched Evans and Scott Sinclair gave the Lancashire outfit all three points at home.
There is precious little to separate Preston North End and Millwall on the table. Both sides are level on points after 33 games, but the hosts have a better goal difference.
