Team News
Leeds United
Leeds will include new signing Laurens De Bock in their squad for the home game against Millwall.
But latest recruit Adam Forshaw will not be involved due to a minor injury problem after joining from Middlesbrough in a £4.5million move this week. Left-back De Bock, a permanent signing from Club Brugge, could go straight into the starting line-up as Luke Ayling is out for the rest of the season after ankle surgery.
Ronaldo Vieira is also back in contention after a knee injury, as is defender Matthew Pennington following illness, but Samuel Saiz sits out the second game of his six-match ban and fellow midfielder Eunan O'Kane starts his three-match suspension.
Millwall
Millwall are hoping to have Tom Elliott and Shane Ferguson available. Elliott played 45 minutes for the under-23s on Monday after recovering from a leg injury and could be included.
Ferguson has also returned to training following a knee problem and is in contention. Byron Webster, however, remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Match Facts
Leeds have won each of their last five home league matches against Millwall since a 2-0 defeat in League One in March 2010.
The Lions haven't won at Elland Road in a second tier fixture since April 1988, with goals from Tony Cascarino and Terry Hurlock securing a 2-1 victory. Now theres a blast from the past
After scoring in 12 successive league games, Leeds are without a goal in their last three. They haven't failed to score in four or more since April 2010 when in the third tier, with one of these games coming at home to Millwall.
Neil Harris featured in Millwall's last league victory at Elland Road in March 2010, playing 74 minutes as the Lions won 2-0.
Leeds average 1.5 goals and 1.7 points with Samuel Saiz in their starting line-up in the Championship this season compared to one goal and 1.4 points without the suspended attacking midfielder.
Millwall have used just 21 players this season; three fewer than any other side in the Championship.
So there you have it................2-0 to Leeds for me and hopefully no bloody red cards

Lasogga got two despite lack of game time.
He is at no way at fault and quite frankly if people want him to also get the two he missed then he needs game time and support.
Not critising for only getting two

Stoopo.............i'm not convinced we have enough games left for Lasogga to improve, and a pro sportsman that lets his fitness drop to that level wants his Rs kicking

"It’s poor that we’ve lost the most winnable game from our upcoming 4/5. Cooper is to blame more than TC."
Never a red, Ref to blame more than Cooper.

Same old people trying to see some good in this team,we were garbage, somehow got in front and still blew it to a team who hadn't won away all season, Millwall won every ball into our box and the equaliser was inevitable as was the winner! poor substitutions, shocking shocking team, manager and owner.

To be fair he looked fit today. He’s a big lump of a bloke though so I guess he’s never gonna look good.
Moved bloody fast when celebrating

I should never had said that Millwall would score two more goals

Morrison should have had 4/5 yellow cards. Impressed by the lads heart and game management. Played better with three at the back...

It’s a red card all day long.

Looked a red from where I was sat. Cooper was very poor before going.
Lasogga was absolutely superb, on and off the ball.

any appeal would look at the video evidence, on the replays it never looked a red to me
Mind you I always thought Norman was innocent too
