Millwall - Derby

Lyndon Dykes spearheads the Millwall attack as the hosts look to steady their Championship campaign at The Den on 31 October 2026. The forward is expected to feature in a side aiming to bounce back from a recent defeat to Portsmouth, a result that highlighted the defensive vulnerabilities seen throughout their recent run. With Filip Marschall and Tairyk Arconte sidelined, the expected XI must rely on the experience of Jake Cooper in defence to provide the necessary stability against a visiting side also searching for consistency.

Derby County arrive at The Den following a hard-fought draw against Sheffield United, though they remain winless in their last several outings. The visitors face significant personnel challenges, with Dion Sanderson suspended and both Charlie Taylor and Henrik Meister missing due to injury. As Sammie Szmodics and Carlton Morris look to test the Millwall backline, the outcome may hinge on which side can best overcome their respective absences and find a clinical edge in this matchday 13 contest.
