Marcelo Bielsa's men top the Championship table after six games and are yet to suffer a defeat with early talk of a return to the Premier League beginning to gather momentum.

However, Harris' side have began the campaign poorly, dropping to 17th in the table following a run of three consecutive defeats. But nevertheless, Millwall are strong at home, losing just twice The Den since November last year.

And on their previous visit to Millwall, Leeds know all too well about The Lions' toughness after losing 1-0 courtesy of a Aiden O'Brien strike, almost exactly one year to the day on Saturday.

Harris has called for Millwall to be 'resolute' and said they need to get back to being 'really nitty-gritty' for the visit of Leeds.
