League leaders Leeds United will be looking to bounce back from their narrow defeat to Portsmouth as they welcome Millwall for a crucial Championship clash on Wednesday night.
Daniel Farke’s side have been dominant at home this season, winning 14 of their 18 matches at Elland Road, and they’ll be eager to extend that record as they push for automatic promotion. With 76 points from 35 games, Leeds have been the team to beat, boasting the league’s best attack with 72 goals and a rock-solid defense that has conceded just 23.
Millwall, meanwhile, come into this fixture on the back of a confidence-boosting 2-1 win over Watford, but their inconsistent away form remains a concern.
Sitting 12th in the table with an even record of 12 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses, Alex Neil’s side have struggled to put together a consistent run of results. Their defense has been leaky, conceding 37 goals, and they will need to be at their best to contain a Leeds attack that has been relentless this season.

Leeds vs. Millwall lineups, team news
Leeds United will have to navigate this fixture without key players, as Ethan Ampadu and Maximilian Wöber remain sidelined, while Patrick Bamford is expected to be out until late March.
The absence of Ampadu in midfield could be a concern for Farke, given his influence both defensively and in building up play. However, with Leeds boasting strong squad depth, the likes of Glen Kamara and Ao Tanaka will be expected to step up in the midfield battle against Millwall.
Leeds United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Meslier (GK) — Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Firpo — Gruev, Tanak — James, Aaronson, Solomon — Piroe.
Injured: Ampadu, Wober, Bamford
Suspended: None
Millwall, on the other hand, will be missing several key players, including suspended goalkeeper Liam Roberts. Calum Scanlon, Dan McNamara, and Ryan Leonard are all sidelined with various injuries, leaving Alex Neil with limited options, particularly in defense.
Further up the pitch, Macaulay Langstaff and Camiel Neghli are also out, reducing Millwall’s attacking firepower. With so many absentees, the Lions will need a disciplined defensive display and a big performance from key men if they are to trouble the league leaders.
Millwall predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Jensen (GK) — Crama, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan — De Norre, Saville — Emakhu, Cundle, Azeez — Ivanovic.
