When the Championship resumes following the international break, Leeds United will play Millwall.

 

 

David Prutton anticipates a “juicy” match when Leeds United visits Millwall this weekend. Daniel Farke’s team had only one win from their first five games this season, a disappointing start. The German will be looking to establish consistency once the Championship competition resumes after defeating high-fliers Ipswich Town.

 

 

Leeds, who are now four points out of the play-off spots, can concentrate on earning an immediate return to the Premier League now that a contentious transfer window is behind them. The resolute Millwall team led by Gary Rowett has its own promotion aspirations after narrowly missing out on a top-six finish on the final day of 2022–23.

Millwall supporters are still bitter over losing that 3-1 lead to Blackburn Rovers, and they’re eager to exact revenge this season. Prutton, a former Whites midfielder, predicts a hostile atmosphere when Leeds visits the Den on Sunday.

 

 

This season, Prutton noted, “I’ve done a couple of Millwall games where it’s been a bit up and down.””I know that these games are very, very juicy indeed since I’ve participated in both home and away versions of them.

Gary has now consistently performed well for Millwall, despite the heartbreak of missing the playoffs on the final day of the regular season.

Since then, there has only been a tiny amount of discontent. I observed that in terms of the fan base at Norwich. But Gary has played this game long enough to understand exactly how to handle the slings and arrows, so I believe for Leeds

But with all due respect to Millwall, “teams like this” make it necessary for Leeds to travel and return with three points if they hope to challenge for a spot in the top two as well as the top six.
