Pre-match preview

Birmingham City

Birmingham City's goalkeeper situation is the main story ahead of Millwall's visit: James Beadle, who has started every match in this run, took a knock and is being assessed, with Ryan Allsop expected to deputise if he is unavailable. At right-back, Ethan Laird made his first start of the sequence against Lincoln City and is favoured again, though Bright Osayi-Samuel, restricted to a late substitute appearance last time out, remains the alternative.

Dael Fry is also recovering from illness and might not be ready in time for Millwall. Patrick Roberts is expected to continue on the right of the attack ahead of Carlos Vicente, who did not feature against Lincoln City.

Millwall

Jenson Metcalfe will serve a one-match suspension for yellow cards at Birmingham City, ending a run of five straight starts in central midfield. Filip Marschall also remains out through injury, with Max Crocombe continuing in goal in his absence.

Tristan Crama is expected to keep the right-back role after starting three of Millwall's last five matches. Kyrell Lisbie has started all five matches up front but been substituted in each, never playing beyond the 80th minute. Elsewhere, Taïryk Arconte is more likely to be available for the West Brom match than this one, while Lukas Jensen and Casper De Norre are not expected to be far from returning around the November international break.
