Millwall will look to strengthen their Championship play-off hopes when they visit bottom club Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
The Lions are fifth and hold a six-point advantage over Preston in seventh – their best league position after 31 games of a second tier season since the 2022-23 campaign when they were sixth at this stage.
The Owls could be relegated against arch-rivals Sheffield United next weekend if they lose to Millwall and the Blades – and one of Leicester or Blackburn pick up another point in that time.
Sheffield Wednesday have won just one of their past 10 league games against Millwall (D4 L5), a 2-0 away win in February 2024.
Following their 1-0 win in November, Millwall are looking to complete the league double over Sheffield Wednesday for the first time since 2002-03.
Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in their past nine league games, losing each of the past eight. No team in English Football League history has ever lost nine in a row without scoring before.
Millwall have lost just one of their previous nine league games (W5 D3), with no Championship side suffering fewer defeats since Christmas than the Lions.
Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in their past nine league games – only one team in the history of the second tier has failed to score in more consecutively in a single campaign, with Coventry going 11 between October and December 1919.
