Millwall are without the suspended Shane Ferguson for the Championship visit of West Brom.
Tom Bradshaw is also absent, owing to a long-term knee injury. The three goals conceded in last week's defeat at Leeds means goalkeeper Jordan Archer is in contention to replace David Martin. Steve Morison is also pushing for a return to the starting XI after appearing as a substitute at Elland Road.
The fit-again Kieran Gibbs and Tosin Adarabioyo are pushing to return for West Brom. They resumed training before last week's victory over Birmingham but were left out.
Matt Phillips is also again expected to be absent, owing to an unspecified injury. Hal Robson-Kanu is pushing for a recall in place of James Morrison after featuring as a substitute against Birmingham.
This is the first league meeting between Millwall and West Brom at the Den since April 2004 - a 1-1 draw.
West Brom haven't won an away league match against Millwall since April 1987 and are winless in seven visits since (W0 D2 L5).
Millwall haven't led in a home Championship match during 2019, failing to score in three of their five games at the Den (W0 D2 L3).
West Bromwich Albion have won all three of their league matches under James Shan and are one of three Championship teams with a 100% win record since his first game in charge, along with Norwich and Aston Villa.
Millwall are 21st in the Championship with 37 points - 21 fewer than they after 38 games last season (58 points), when they were 10th in the division.
Jay Rodriguez has scored 19 league goals for West Brom this season - the last Baggies player to score 20 in a single season was Kevin Phillips in 2007-08 (22 goals).
Having led twice Millwall will be gutted to have lost to Leeds last week, and now they find themselves precariously placed back just above the bottom three.
West Brom look like they will be sticking with James Shan now after three wins on the spin. They haven't been entirely convincing but I think they will continue that run at The Den.
David Prutton predicts: 1-2 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
