Millwall

Rotherham v Millwall
Rotherham striker Dave Hibbert expects to be fit after suffering another nose injury in the defeat against Doncaster. Striker Delroy Facey (ankle) and club skipper Colin Murdock (hernia) remain sidelined but boss Alan Knill has no other injury or suspension concerns. Millwall midfielder Ali Fuseini could miss out with a knock sustained in the draw against Brentford. If he fails to recover, the experienced Derek McInnes is expected to step in for the bottom-of-the-table clash.

Millwall v Bournemouth
Millwall caretaker-boss Willie Donachie is set to name an unchanged side after three matches unbeaten for the Lions. Derek McInnes and Ali Fuseini are both pushing for starts and Chris Zebroski could come into contention. New Bournemouth boss Kevin Bond will be without Eddie Howe and Shaun Cooper for his first game in charge, as they are both suffering with knee problems. Darren Anderton (knee) was injured last weekend but trained on Thursday, while Lionel Ainsworth (shoulder) is a doubt.

Millwall 1-0 Bournemouth
Chris Hackett's goal in first-half stoppage time separated the sides as Millwall spoiled new Bournemouth boss Kevin Bond's first game in charge. Hackett and Poul Hubertz went close for Millwall before Bournemouth's Warren Cummings hit the post from long range. But when Danny Haynes' shot was brilliantly saved by Gareth Stewart, Hackett forced the rebound home. The Cherries then dominated the second half, but James Hayter headed over from close range from their best chance. Millwall: Pidgeley, Senda (Phillips 66), Craig, Ross, Shaw, Hackett (McInnes 90), Elliott, Mawene, Dunne, Hubertz (Zebroski 81), Haynes. Subs Not Used: Day, Trotter. Booked: Dunne. Goals: Hackett 45. Bournemouth: Stewart, Young, Cummings, Maher, Gowling, Hayter, Hollands (Foley 77), Anderton, Purches, Best, Fletcher (Pitman 87). Subs Not Used: Moss, Hart, Cooke. Booked: Best. Att: 9,838 Ref: S Tanner (Somerset).

Swansea v Millwall
Right-back Kevin Amankwaah (ankle) will be missing for Swansea on Sunday, joining defender and captain Garry Monk (knee) on the sidelines. Transfer-listed Leon Knight will not be considered, while Adebayo Akinfenwa, Darren Way (both shin) and Rory Fallon (Achilles) will have fitness tests. Millwall boss Willie Donachie is expected to stick with a winning team. Jody Morris (knee), Tom Brighton, Darren Byfield (both ankle) and Ben May (shoulder) remain long-term absentees.

Swansea 2-0 Millwall
Swansea moved up to fifth in League One as goals from Dennis Lawrence and Leon Britton gave them victory over Millwall at the Liberty Stadium. Centre-back Lawrence opened the scoring on 17 minutes with a close-range header for his first goal for the Swans. Britton doubled the lead when he tapped in after the break from Rory Fallon's low shot across the face of goal. Millwall's Danny Haynes volleyed onto the crossbar before Lee Trundle missed a late penalty for Swansea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swansea: Gueret, Tate, Iriekpen, Lawrence, Williams, Britton, Pratley, Tudur Jones, Robinson (Butler 83), Fallon (Akinfenwa 87), Trundle (Jones 89). Subs Not Used: Oakes, Austin. Booked: Tate. Goals: Lawrence 17, Britton 51. Millwall: Pidgeley, Senda (Zebroski 55), Shaw, Ross, Craig (Phillips 45), Hackett, Elliott, Trotter, Mawene (McInnes 55), Haynes, Hubertz. Subs Not Used: Day, Morais. Booked: Craig, Shaw, Haynes, Pidgeley. Att: 13,975 Ref: P Joslin (Nottinghamshire).

Ardley facing long recovery time
Millwall midfielder Neal Ardley knows he will not be able to return too soon after having double hernia surgery. Ardley suffered a rib injury on the opening day of the season, but has since gone under the knife once more. \"The time scale for getting back from a single hernia is around six weeks, so I'm probably looking at a couple of months,\" he told Millwall's website. \"It's going to be a slog, but I have to remain positive as there will be plenty of games left when I am fit again.\"

Millwall v Port Vale
Millwall could have striker Darren Byfield back in the squad after an ankle problem but Zak Whitbread and Paul Robinson are still not quite fit. Tom Brighton (ankle), Jody Morris (knee), Ben May (shoulder) and Neal Ardley are all still out. Port Vale manager Martin Foyle is set to change his line-up after Tuesday's Carling Cup win over Norwich. Michael Husbands or Stefan Moore may come in for Akpo Sodje, and Danny Sonner needs a late fitness test.

Millwall 1-1 Port Vale
Akpo Sodje rescued a point for Port Vale as they drew away at Millwall. Sodje was in the right place at the right time as he latched on to Leon Constantine's cut-back to fire home from inside the six-yard box. Millwall should have had the game wrapped up by then, taking a deserved lead when Poul Houbertz - who missed twice - set up Chris Zebroski to score. Marvin Elliott and Hubertz went close after the break before Sodje struck to deny the Lions all three points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millwall: Pidgeley, Ross (Senda 11), Phillips, Shaw, Craig, Elliott, Williams (Byfield 60), Mawene (McInnes 76), Hackett, Zebroski, Hubertz. Subs Not Used: Day, Morais. Booked: Hubertz, Elliott. Goals: Zebroski 20. Port Vale: Goodlad, Pilkington, Walker, Abbey, Talbot, Sonner, Harsley (Husbands 63), Jeff Smith (Cardle 71), Whitaker, Constantine, Sodje, Husbands (Miles 90). Subs Not Used: Anyon, Walsh. Booked: Sonner, Harsley, Husbands. Goals: Sodje 72. Att: 10,189. Ref: K Hill (Hertfordshire).

Millwall v Bournemouth
Darren Byfield and Derek McInnes could come into the Millwall team, along with keeper Chris Day. Alan Dunne, Zak Whitbread (both groin), Maurice Ross (calf) and Paul Robinson (hamstring) are unlikely to feature. Bournemouth have striker Leon Best available for the final time before his loan spell from Southampton expires. Neil Young (back), who missed the 1-0 defeat at Tranmere, faces a late test but fellow defenders Eddie Howe, Karl Broadhurst and Shaun Cooper are out.

Hawks-Lions tie moved to Fratton
Havant & Waterlooville's FA Cup first round tie against Millwall has been switched to Portsmouth's Fratton Park ground on the advice of local police. Although the Hawks' Westleigh Park ground was passed as suitable, police did not want ticketless Millwall fans wandering around the Leigh Park area. The game will now kick off at 1945 GMT on Monday, 13 November. \"The police have taken matters out of our hands,\" Hawks club secretary Trevor Brock told his club's website. \"We are very disappointed with this decision as we have tried to move heaven and earth to play at Westleigh Park. \"We will probably struggle to make anything out of this game once police costs and hiring costs are paid, but we will do our best to keep ticket prices as low as possible.\"

Tranmere 3-1 Millwall
Tranmere were made to work hard by Millwall before ensuring a win which moved them fourth in League One. Gareth Taylor headed in at the far post to put the home side ahead before Chris McCready forced the ball home from close range to add a second. Millwall never gave up and pulled a goal back in the 42nd minute when Chris Hackett neatly flicked the ball home over advancing keeper Gavin Ward. Tranmere fended off Millwall and Chris Shuker's late goal secured the points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tranmere: Ward, Thompson, McCready, Goodison, Sherriff, Shuker, McLaren, Mullin, Davies (Tremarco 80), Taylor, Greenacre. Subs Not Used: Achterberg, McAteer, Harrison, Jones. Goals: Taylor 19, McCready 22, Shuker 89. Millwall: Pidgeley, Senda, Robinson, Shaw, Bakayogo (Whitbread 28), Hackett, Elliott, Grant, Zebroski, Hubertz (May 28), Williams (Morais 58). Subs Not Used: Day, McInnes. Booked: Whitbread. Goals: Hackett 41. Att: 7,114 Ref: A Taylor (Cheshire).

Bradford-Millwall tie is switched
Bradford City have announced that their FA Cup second round game against Millwall has been brought forward to Friday, 1 December at 1945 GMT. The switch was made on the instructions of police as City's West Yorkshire neighbours Leeds host another Yorkshire side, Barnsley, on the Saturday. The game was moved to Friday instead of the Sunday, as City and Millwall have League games on Tuesday, 5 December. If a replay is needed, it will be at the New Den on Tuesday, 12 December. Bradford and Millwall are also due to meet in a League One fixture on Saturday, 9 December.

Nottm Forest v Millwall
Nottingham Forest boss Colin Calderwood has his fingers crossed strikers Nathan Tyson (groin) and Junior Agogo (stomach) will return to availability. Should either miss out, Scott Dobie is ready to step in breach after overcoming long-term hip troubles. Striker Chris Zebroski will be on the sidelines for Millwall as he serves a one-match ban. Tony Craig, Mark Phillips, Neal Ardley, Jody Morris and Tom Brighton remain on the injury list.

Spurs teenager extends Lions loan
Millwall have extended the loan spell of Tottenham teenager Charlie Lee for a second month. The 19-year-old, who can play in defence or midfield, had been set to return to White Hart Lane after Saturday's game at Bristol City. However, he will now remain with the Lions until their game with Brighton on Saturday, 13 January. Lee has started three league games and one Johnstone's Paint Trophy match since joining Millwall in November.

Bristol City v Millwall
Bristol City are missing skipper Louis Carey and midfielder Scott Brown. Carey has a leg problem so Jamie McAllister could continue to deputise in defence, while Brown is recovering from a badly bruised leg. Millwall welcome back winger Chris Hackett from suspension and on-loan Charlie Lee is available again. Zak Whitbread is doubtful, while Jody Morris and Neal Ardley are both out, along with Tony Craig, Mark Phillips, Derek McInnes and Tom Brighton (ankle).
