Most recent H2Hs: The Lions edge it
Millwall have met Dagenham & Redbridge twice before, both times in the FA Cup in 2012. The first game at Dag & Red ended goalless but Millwall romped to a 5-0 victory in the replay at The Den.
Millwall preview: Mid-table in the Championship
Millwall's winless run was extended to four games when they made the trip to Hillsborough last time out in the Championship.
The visitors slipped behind early on and trailed 1-0 at the break. However, goals from George Honeyman and Ryan Wintle looked to have won the game for Millwall only for the Owls to equalise in the 85th minute and the game end in a 2-2 draw.
Top scorer Duncan Watmore missed the Sheffield Wednesday game through injury but could return for Monday's clash with Dagenham & Redbridge.
Predicted lineup: Jensen (GK), Wallace, Bryan, Tanganga, Leonard, Saville, De Norre, Honeyman, Esse, Azeez & Ivanovic

Dagenham preview: Lost three of their last six
Dagenham & Redbridge followed up their 2-0 win over Ebbsfleet with a decent point on the road against promotion hopefuls Forest Green on Wednesday night.
A tight and tense game looked to have been won by Dag & Red when Joshua Rees broke the deadlock in the last minute, only for Forest Green to score a dramatic equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time to make the final scoreline 1-1.
Monday's guests knocked AFC Wimbledon out of the FA Cup in the last round and will be looking to cause another upset in the Third Round.

Player to watch: Mihailo Ivanovic
Millwall's young Serbian striker has featured as a substitute for the most part this season, scoring two goals in 16 Championship appearances since his move from Vojvodina in the summer.
The 20-year-old, who spent some time on loan at Italian side Sampdoria, started for the Lions against Sheffield Wednesday and we're expecting the young forward to start again on Monday night.
How will the Serb take to FA Cup football?
Ivanovic is still getting used to English football and we probably won't see the best of him until next season but this FA Cup tie offers the striker a great chance to make a name for himself.
