The U’s beat Wigan 3-2 and earned a decent point at Bromley last time out in their opening two league games. In the previous round, Ben Knight and Isaac Heath netted in a 2-1 home victory over Barnet.
As far as Millwall are concerned, they have an unblemished record in the EFL Championship and sit top of the pile with six points from six. They are one of only two sides yet to concede and have netted five times (beat Bristol City 2-0 and Norwich 3-0). The south Londoners reached this stage after a penalty shootout win against QPR.

Cambridge Vs Millwall Team News
Millwall legend and current Cambridge boss Neil Harris is set to name his strongest possible XI for the visit of the early EFL Championship leaders. Jake Eastwood will start in goal whereas Ben Knight – who has scored twice this season – will play up top.
As far as the Lions are concerned, they are almost certain to make changes to their XI. Especially as their EFL Championship promotion odds have been cut to 7/2. Former QPR, Charlton and Birmingham forward Lyndon Dykes could be given a run out up top in place of Josh Coburn. After netting twice against Norwich, Tairyk Arconte could also be rotated out in place of Zak Lovelace.

Although they have never earned their place on the EFL Cup winners list, Millwall could certainly rustle a few feathers this season and with that in mind, we are backing the Lions to recorded a comfortable win and progress to the 3rd round. Cambridge will certainly go for it, but the south Londoners should prove too strong at the Abbey.
