Match preview

Millwall host table-topping West Ham at The Den in an important Championship clash. The hosts enter the weekend in eleventh position with ten points, having suffered four defeats across their last five matches in all competitions, including a 3-1 away loss at Blackburn last time out. Squad depth presents a notable challenge for the Lions, with several players sidelined through injury, including J. Coburn, A. Doughty, M. Ivanovic, and M. Luongo.

West Ham, by contrast, sit at the summit of the standings with 14 points and a division-leading 20 goals scored through seven matches. The Hammers have built considerable momentum with four consecutive multi-goal victories, most recently dominating Wrexham 6-0 following a 3-2 away victory against Bolton. J. Bowen has spearheaded their attacking output with four goals and three assists.

While Millwall have recorded two victories from three league home fixtures, West Ham remain undefeated on their travels with one win and two draws. Given the visiting side's potent attacking form and the extensive casualty list for the hosts, West Ham hold the tactical advantage entering this London derby.
