Millwall look to continue their impressive recent form and bolster their promotion ambitions with victory over Brentford tomorrow.

The Lions, who beat AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup last Monday, will be boosted by the return of two key players.

Central defender Darren Ward will be available for the trip to Griffin Park, while James Henry, who was ineligible for Monday's game, is also in the squad.

Jason Price, two goal hero in the cup, faces a fitness test on a calf strain but Millwall manager Kenny Jackett is confident he will be able to play as he aims to extend the Lions seven match unbeaten run.

He said: "Jason Price will have a test on his calf but I expect him to be fit.

"Having Darren Ward back is certainly a bonus because we've only had four fit defenders for much of the season."

But Gary Alexander is still sidelined with a heel injury as is former Brentford defender Andy Frampton, although he is close to a return to first team action.

Millwall sold out their 1,700 ticket allocation and it's likely to be a cracking atmosphere at a ground where the Lions have only lost once in their last nine visits.

Millwall (from): Forde, Sullivan, Dunne, Smith, Ward, Robinson, Craig, Bolder, Abdou, Schofield, Laird, Morison, Harris, Price, Grimes, Hackett, Grabban, Martin, Henry.

Venue: Griffin Park, Brentford

Kick-off: 3pm

Transport: Nearest station is Brentford, which is on the mainline from Waterloo. Fans travelling to the game should be aware of the rugby international at Twickenham, not far from Brentford, which might cause congestion on the roads.
