Match facts
Leeds have won six of their past seven home league matches against Millwall, losing the other match 4-3 in January 2018.
The home side has won nine of the past 11 league meetings between Leeds and Millwall.
This is the first time Leeds and Millwall have faced on a Tuesday in a league match - they last faced on this day of the week in November 1988 in the Full Members Cup, a 2-0 Millwall win.
Defeat against Millwall would see Marcelo Bielsa lose four consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since April 2015 with Marseille.
Since and including their 3-3 draw at home to Cardiff on 14th December, Leeds have earned six points from seven matches; only Luton (1) have picked up fewer points over this period.
No Championship side have earned more points than Millwall (29 from 15 games) since Gary Rowett's first match in charge at the end of October.
So there we have it, Millwall sitting in 8th spot looking to improve on that position and ourselves (despite the latest hiccup) still second and looking to take Top Spot with this game, Nervy but i think we can do it, 2-0 th Leeds with Pablo and Alioski getting the goals (Bamford can get a few if he wants )

Read the Millwall forum and aside from the predictable profanity aimed at us what I was most shocked by was loads of their fans admitting we are a great side, deserved to win and they can see why we are top.

Never thought we would lose, dont like to have a pop at officials but that first half was as bad as I have seem for a long time, we going up as flipping champions

Early second half goal and we were always coming back, Millwall very very lucky with that pen, although I’ve not seen it back

Yeah, credit where it's due - they hate us but were in awe of that performance.

Macca, I’m not surprised. We really are a very good side despite the constant negativity on here by those that create thread after thread searching for reason after reason to justify their stance.
We are not perfect. We have faults. But so does every single side in this league. Not many have our brilliance though

Fair comments from this Millwall fan....clearly loves his team as we love ours....
Love the bit where he says he hopes we’re promoted....cos they’ve had enough of us 😂😂

I have to admit I thought the game was lost at 0-2. Lots of chances created again in the first half, but all of them wasted.
Given the two last seasons post new year breakdowns, and seeing the same pattern again, it's easy to get a bit frustrated, to put it mildly
