Match preview
The "Canaries" have been struggling in recent rounds, and this has affected their position in the standings. Norwich currently sits in 13th place in the Championship table with just 26 points after 22 rounds.
They have a comfortable eight-point cushion above the relegation zone, but the team needs to improve results quickly to avoid slipping into a relegation battle. In their last outing, Norwich lost 1-2 away to Sunderland, marking their third defeat in the last four rounds. Overall, the club has gone four league matches without a win.
Meanwhile, the "Lions" also recently endured a winless streak that stretched across six games. During that period, Millwall managed to pick up points in draws against Stoke City, Sunderland, and Oxford United. They finally broke the streak last weekend with a narrow 1-0 home victory over Blackburn.
Millwall is currently 10th in the Championship standings with 28 points. They are seven points off the playoff spots. However, their away form leaves much to be desired, with just one win and three losses in nine away matches this season.
Probable lineups
- Norwich: Gunn, Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Fisher, Slimane, McLean, Marcondes, Nunez, Krnas, Sainz
- Millwall: Jensen, Bryan, Tanganga, Cooper, Leonard, De Norre, Saville, Watmore, Hanneman, Esse, Ivanovic
