Club legend Neil Harris scored the winning goal on Saturday before picking up a groin strain.

Shaun Batt stepped into his boots in midweek, and scored Millwall's second goal. So who gets the nod against relegation-threatened Brighton?

Harris - who extended his contract with the Lions until June 2012 this week - will have a late fitness check before the weekend clash at the Withdean. Batt - who is on loan from Peterborough - will be hoping to keep his spot after receiving praise from manager Kenny Jackett on Tuesday, but the pair look to be competing for a spot alongside top-scorer Steve Morison.

Brighton haven't won at home since October, but they're unbeaten in four league matches and are reporting only two absentees from the squad ahead of this match. Defenders Adam El-Abd and Colin Hawkins are out, while striker Gary Hart should be fit enough for bench duty after a run with the reserves.

Andy Frampton is close to a return for Millwall after two weeks out with a calf injury, and a win would keep the Lions in the play-off places for at least the next few days. Huddersfield are a point behind with two games in hand, and the Lions will face a test of their promotion credentials when league leaders Norwich come to The Den next Saturday.

Kick off: Saturday, 3pm. Prediction: 0-1
