Millwall stormed to victory in Saturday's south London derby with Kenny Jackett praising it as one of the best results of his career.

Title-chasing Chelsea will be out for goals and a similar defensive display from the Irons to last Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bolton could see them on the wrong end of a drubbing.
