Millwall began 2024 with a narrow 1-0 win over Bristol City thanks to Saun Hutchinson’s effort two minutes into the injury time. It was the Lions’ eighth league win of the season, extending their unbeaten run to five games, recording three successive victories and keeping four clean sheets in the process. However, Joe Edwards’ side then suffered a 3-2 defeat to Leicester City in the FA Cup third round, before losing back-to-back second tier fixtures against the likes of Middlesbrough and QPR, with an aggregate scoreline of 5-1. Last Saturday, the Hoops dominated the proceedings at Loftus Road, scoring twice through Ilias Chair and Sinclair Armstrong, while restricting Edwards’ men to just two shots with only one on target.
Preston, on the other hand, are also going through bit of a rough patch, having lost four of their last five outings in all competitions. The Lilywhites have recorded 11 wins, five draws and 12 defeats from 28 league games so far, and their last success coincidentally came against Bristol City earlier this month thanks to two unanswered goals from Will Keane in the second-half. Though the result ended their three game losing run, Lowe’s men were beaten at Leeds a week later, despite taking the lead through Keane’s second-minute opener. The result has left them trailing the top six by five points.
Millwall probable starting lineup: Sarkic, Tanganga, Cooper, Wallace, Norton-Cuffy, Saville, Mitchell, Bryan, Watmore, Flemming, Nisbet
Preston North End probable starting lineup: Woodman, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Potts, Frokjaer-Jensen, Whiteman, McCann, Millar, Riis, Keane
