Southampton Vs Millwall Preview
With both sides aiming to make the step up to the Premier League next season, Saturday’s match promises to be a cracker.

On the opening weekend, Millwall beat Bristol City 2-0 before brushing aside Norwich 3-0 at the Den last time out. The Lions are currently top of the pile and will be aiming to stay there at the end of the weekend. An EFL Cup run is also gathering momentum having beaten QPR and Cambridge in the opening rounds.

For Saturday’s key clash, Southampton are set to recall Canadian forward Cyle Larin and Irish international Finn Azaz to their starting XI. On the injury front, Caspar Jander is the only absentee. The midfielder is likely to return after the international break.
Millwall will be without the services of Massimo Luongo, Mathis Servais, Femi Azeez, Tristan Crama and Mihailo Ivanovic. However, that hasn’t blunted their progress so far and after making widespread changes for the Cambridge win, the likes of Tairyk Arconte and Josh Coburn should be restored to Alex Neil’s starting lineup.
