Player to watch: Mihailo Ivanovic
Aiming to improve on a return of 12 Championship goals in his debut Millwall campaign last season, Mihailo Ivanovic experienced a slow start, scoring just once in the first 13 league games.
The 20-year-old has now scored in back-to-back games, though, and will aim to fire his side to a victory on Wednesday with key attacker Femi Azeez still sidelined.
