The Dale are struggling in League One and currently find themselves in 23rd place in the table and will be thoroughly enjoying their FA cup exploits. Keith Hill will be hoping his team can improve upon their lowly league position and their return of 22 points from 26 games and with as many as 4 games in hand on some of their rivals, they will be hoping to steer clear of the drop zone. Ian Henderson has notched 11 goals in all competitions this season and scored in the first game between the sides at the Den.

The Lions showed huge resilience against Rochdale last time out to salvage a replay and they have only lost one of their last 8 matches. They currently sit 14th in the Championship with 35 points from 29 games and they look well placed to avoid the drop as it stands. George Saville has notched 7 goals for the Lions this season from midfield in what has been an impressive season for the young midfielder.
Head to Head
Millwall hold a narrow 6:3 lead in the head to head record between the teams whilst another 4 games have ended as draws. Their 2-2 draw at the John Smith’s was a topsy-turvy encounter with Jed Wallace’s first half opener being cancelled out by Matty Done and Ian Henderson before Ben Thompson struck in the 90th minute to earn the Blues a replay.
