Brentford vs Millwall preview
Friday 2 November 2018 11:38, UK
Kamohelo Mokotjo is expected to miss out for Brentford in their clash with Millwall, having suffered a calf injury against Norwich.
In his potential absence, Josh McEachran is likely to play a more defensive role in midfield. Julian Jeanvier is again a doubt with a foot injury. Saturday's fixture is also expected to come too soon for Marcus Forss and Emiliano Marcondes, owing to respective back and foot injuries.
Millwall's Jed Wallace faces a late fitness test before manager Neil Harris selects his starting XI. Wallace has been struggling with a calf injury, suffered during the recent 2-1 victory over Wigan.
If he misses out, Jiri Skalak and Aiden O'Brien will again compete to replace him. Murray Wallace and James Meredith are also vying to start at left-back.
