With both teams have a lot invested in this tie, it will be difficult to determine a winner from this contest.
Burnley have been sensational this season. The runaway leaders have been difficult for any side to catch in the EFL Championship. They look destined to return to the Premier League, hence the last thing Vincent Kompany would want is complacency creeping into their squad. Therefore, he would want his players to maintain their level and go after another three points when they visit the Den for a difficult test.

It is due to their impressive 3-2 victory over second-placed Sheffield United in their last game. Along with Burnley, Sheffield have also been excellent this campaign, thereby Millwall’s victory over them in their last match will act as a big confidence booster.
