The Den sets the stage for a compelling EFL Championship clash as Millwall welcome high-flying Burnley on Sunday, November 3rd. Scott Parker's Burnley side, currently occupying second place, will aim to reduce Sunderland's five-point lead at the summit. However, Neil Harris's Millwall are hoping to elevate themselves from their mid-table position.

Correct score prediction: Millwall 1-1 Burnley
All signs point toward a closely contested affair here where goals could well come at a premium.

Furthermore, Burnley have scored 4 goals in their last 4 away fixtures, suggesting a decent possibility of a 1-1 result.

Player to watch – Josh Brownhill (Burnley)
Brownhill is currently the joint 4th top scorer in the Championship this season. Burnley’s captain has shown time and time again why he deserves to wear the yellow armband. Not only has he netted 5 goals in 12 games, but he’s played a key role in helping Burnley pick up points in the wider sense, too.
So, for us, Brownhill is the man to keep an eye on in this one!
