With Millwall unbeaten in five games, Colchester will be travelling to The Den with sights firmly fixed on stealing Charlton's second place spot should the Addicks crumble beneath floundering Carlisle, writes Steven Davies.

Gary Alexander, the Lion that slew Leeds last week, is a major doubt with a heel injury.

Danny Schofield is nursing a calf injury, and is given a 50-50 chance of playing. If Schofield is declared fit to play, manager Kenny Jackett could well be set to name the same side for the third straight game.

Colchester will be welcoming back Marc Tierney following suspension, while Kem Izzet has recovered from a bout of flu.

Defenders Pat Baldwin and Paul Reid are unlikely to risked as they continue to recover from long-term knee injuries.

Kickoff is 3pm on Saturday.
