Millwall are set to play Sheffield United at the Den on Saturday for their next EFL Championship fixture.
Millwall come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Wayne Rooney's Derby County in the league. First-half goals from attacker Jed Wallace and young midfielder Tyler Burey sealed the deal for Gary Rowett's Millwall. A late second-half own goal from centre-back Jake Cooper proved to be a mere consolation for Derby County.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, beat Tony Mowbray's Blackburn Rovers 1-0 in the league. A late second-half goal from centre-back Ben Davies secured the win for Paul Heckingbottom's Sheffield United, who had centre-back Charlie Goode sent off in the second-half.
Millwall vs Sheffield United Head-to-Head

The two clubs last faced each other last year in the EFL Championship, with Millwall beating Sheffield United 2-1. Goals from forward Jed Wallace and centre-back Jake Cooper ensured victory for Millwall. A penalty from veteran striker Billy Sharp proved to be a mere consolation for Sheffield United, who had midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White sent off in the second-half.
