Preview: Millwall v Hull City
A big crowd is expected at The Den tomorrow when the Lions entertain the Tigers in their first home game of the season.
Millwall welcome Hull City, relegated from the Premier League last season, on what will be an atmospheric afternoon in SE16.
Over 12,000 tickets have already been sold as Championship football returns to The Den, so fans are being advised to arrive in plenty of time to get into the ground.
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett hopes to have four players back in action after they missed Tuesday's Carling Cup win over Wycombe Wanderers.
Steve Morison, fresh from winning his first international cap for Wales in midweek, should lead the line against the Tigers, while Darren Carter is available after serving a one-match ban for his sending off against Bristol City last Saturday.
Midfielders Liam Trotter and Jimmy Abdou have both recovered from injury and should be in the squad.
Hull's dangerman is John Bostock. The Tottenham player, who began his career at Crystal Palace, is on loan at the KC Stadium and scored a superb goal against Swansea last weekend.
They have also added Slovenian international Robert Koren to their ranks this week and he could feature tomorrow.
But Jackett is not worrying too much about the opposition.
He said: "As a manager, the main aim is to focus on yourselves and what you do. We only look at the opposition to a degree. We set our own standards and will look to maintain them throughout the course of the season."
