Millwall's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with a mix of losses and draws, but they did manage to secure a win against Leicester at home. They'll be looking to build on that, especially with their attacking flair shown in the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, have struggled lately, losing three out of their last five games. Their defensive frailties could be exploited by Millwall's forwards, but they'll hope their attacking trio can cause some problems.

Given Millwall's home advantage and their recent win, they might just have the edge. Sheffield Wednesday's away form has been poor, and their injury list is a concern. However, they've shown they can be competitive, especially in their draws against Norwich and West Brom. It should be a tight game, but Millwall's home form could see them through.

Millwall's recent form has been inconsistent, with a home win over Leicester the highlight. They've struggled away from home, losing heavily to Birmingham and Portsmouth. This could affect their confidence, but playing at home might give them the boost they need.

• Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), McNamara (DF), Crama (DF), Taylor (DF), Doughty (DF), Cundle (MF), Norre (MF), Ballo (MF), Langstaff (MF), Emakhu (MF), Ivanović (AT)

Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should allow them to control the midfield and exploit the flanks, with Emakhu and Langstaff providing creativity. Their recent form suggests they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal to secure a win.

• Predicted lineup: Horvath (GK), Palmer (DF), Iorfa (DF), Lowe (DF), Fusire (MF), Valery (MF), Bannan (MF), Amass (MF), Ingelsson (MF), Lowe (MF), Ugbo (AT)

Sheffield Wednesday's 3-4-2-1 formation could be vulnerable at the back, especially with their recent defensive struggles. Their attacking trio of Ingelsson, Lowe, and Ugbo will need to be on top form to cause problems for Millwall's defence.

• Ivanović vs Iorfa: This will be a crucial battle between Millwall's striker and Sheffield Wednesday's defender, with Ivanović looking to exploit any defensive lapses.

• Langstaff vs Valery: The midfield duel between Millwall's Langstaff and Sheffield Wednesday's Valery could be key, with Langstaff's creativity up against Valery's defensive nous.

• Doughty (Millwall): Doughty's creativity and ability to unlock defences make him a vital player for Millwall, especially in their 4-2-3-1 formation.

• Ingelsson (Sheffield Wednesday): Ingelsson's attacking threat and ability to link play could be crucial for Sheffield Wednesday, especially given their recent struggles.
