Millwall will entertain Wigan Athletic at The Den in the EFL Championship on Saturday.
Millwall suffered their first defeat in four games last time around as they fell to a 3-0 away loss at Sunderland. The game between the two teams was the only Championship match that was played last week and it was a game rescheduled from matchday nine.
Wigan Athletic are third from the bottom in the Championship standings but picked up their first win in eight games in their previous outing as second-half goals from James McClean and Curtis Tilt helped them secure a comeback 2-1 win over Blackpool.
If the hosts can pick up a win here, they will be able to reach fourth place in the league table. A win for Wigan will see them climb as high as 16th place.
