Millwall v Leeds

Leeds got their Sky Bet Championship title charge back on track with a 1-0 win over West Brom on Tuesday but they could struggle to build on that effort at Millwall.

With a fully-fit squad available, Leeds are the best side in the second tier by some way but key injuries are not making life easy for Marcelo Bielsa.

Skipper Liam Cooper picked up a groin injury in the win over West Brom and is out for six weeks, while teenage sensation Jamie Shackleton also limped off and is another set for a spell on the sidelines.

With tricky midfielder Pablo Hernandez and Adam Forshaw also out, Leeds are not as strong as could be the case and are worth opposing at the prices.

Neil Harris stepped down as Millwall manager in midweek but with players keen to show their worth, temporary replacement Adam Barrett should get a good response from his team.

The Lions have lost only two of their last nine home league games and bolstered by the return of Shane Ferguson and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, can avoid defeat against Leeds.

Plymouth v Scunthorpe

Plymouth recorded the double over Scunthorpe when they locked horns in League One last season and the plucky Pilgrims can uphold the form when they renew their rivalry in the fourth tier.

Ryan Lowe's men snapped a five-game winless sequence when edging out Mansfield (1-0) last weekend and a visit from Scunthorpe, who have just six points from 11 league games.

Leading scorer Ryan Taylor returns up front for Plymouth but Scunthorpe don't have as much to cheer about.

The visitors are without the suspended Matty Lund, while Jamie Ward is not even in the matchday squad. Jamie Proctor is only fit enough for the bench and Scunthorpe could be heading for a sixth consecutive away league defeat.
