Team News
Leeds United
Leeds midfielder Adam Forshaw could return to action,Forshaw has missed the last eight games due to a knee injury sustained in the home defeat to Norwich at the start of February.
Defender Pontus Jansson is also available after recovering more quickly than expected from the knee injury which left him hobbling through the latter stages of the recent defeat to Sheffield United. Goalkeeper Kiko Casilla starts his ban following his dismissal against the Blades, so Bailey Peacock-Farrell will return, while Kemar Roofe (knee) is expected to be back next week.
Millwall
Ben Marshall, Fred Onyedinma and Ben Thompson will return to contention after they were ineligible for the FA Cup defeat to Brighton. Boss Neil Harris has no new injury problems, but Shane Ferguson is suspended following his dismissal against the Seagulls.
Lions winger Ferguson was shown a straight red card during extra-time and starts a three-game ban. Striker Tom Bradshaw remains a long-term absentee following knee surgery in November.

Leeds have won five of their last six league games against Millwall at Elland Road (L1), with their only defeat in this run coming last season when they had Liam Cooper sent off after 37 minutes (3-4 in January 2018).
Millwall have only kept one clean sheet in their last 15 away league games against Leeds (excl. play-offs), with that coming in a 2-0 win in March 2010.
Against Sheffield United, Leeds failed to attempt a shot on target in a Championship game for the first time under Marcelo Bielsa - they had last failed to do so in January 2018 against Hull City.
Millwall's nine Championship wins this season have all been achieved having had fewer possession than their opponents - Leeds have had more possession in 37 of their 38 league matches this season.
Leeds have won eight of their nine Championship matches this season against teams currently in the bottom six of the division - their only failure to win was away at Millwall in September, a 1-1 draw.
In three away league appearances at Elland Road against Leeds for Millwall, Steve Morison has scored once and assisted three goals - in 19 home appearances for the Whites between 2013 and 2015, he scored one goal and assisted once.
Right i'm going for a 3-0 win on this one, Alioski, Bamford and Cooper, easy as ABC

Norwich in front. As it stands, 7 points clear of 3rd and no real hard games left until the last one, they'll be up tonight surely?

Boro as hapless as usual. They were all over Norwich but can't put it in the net. They've fallen away big time.

I think it's fair to say Norwich have proven themselves the best team in the division – not necessarily the most entertaining but massive character and never say die.

2 dodgy pens. Scoreline is a bit flattering there.
Proper rub of the green stuff. The least convincing 6-1 I've ever seen.
Lap it up.
