The Lions have suffered just two league defeats since new boss Gary Rowett took charge on October 21 with a run of one loss from their last 13 league games leaving Millwall eighth and just two points off the play-offs.

The Londoners will also be seeking to record the double over United on the back of their 2-1 win at The Den under caretaker boss Adam Barrett in October.

Second-placed United are seeking what would be only a second win in eight league games with three of their last seven ending in defeat.

"It will be tough," warned YEP columnist and Sky Sports presenter Prutton.

"Millwall are playing well, Gary has got a real tune out of them and they have gone from a team that were looking over the shoulder to a team that is looking to surge into the play-offs.

"It doesn't let up. Leeds feeling sorry for themselves or licking their wounds, there's no currency in that.

"They are going to play a team that are going to look to smash into them and go after them but also want to play football.

"Millwall have got some good footballers and if Leeds want to be where they want to sit in four months' time at the top of the tree having navigated this very tricky portion of the season and got over it then there is no better game than Millwall."
