Pre-match preview

Millwall

Alex Neil goes into Saturday's visit from West Ham without two central options. Casper De Norre and Josh Coburn are both out through injury, in a squad already reduced by 14 absences.

The rest of Millwall's side has a settled look. Zak Sturge is expected to keep his place at left-back after five straight starts, while Romain Esse, who has started twice in this run, did not feature at all in the draw at Middlesbrough and is expected to miss out again. Jenson Metcalfe and Derek Mazou-Sacko are expected to continue together in defensive midfield.

West Ham United

Joël Veltman is doubtful for West Ham's trip to Millwall, leaving right-back unsettled again. Kyle Walker-Peters, left out of the side against Wrexham after three starts in the last five games, looks the man to step back in there, having been introduced from the bench in that match.

At left-back, Morato is set to keep his place after making his first start of the season in that same game. There is barely anything to separate him from Oliver Scarles, who also started three of the last five games and came off the bench against Wrexham. Nuno Espírito Santo has recently rotated between the pair, and neither has nailed down the spot.
