Match preview

Only goal difference separates Millwall and Watford in the Championship after 14 rounds of fixtures and it may take a moment of individual brilliance to separate the evenly-matched pair at The Den.

Both teams will be on a high after recording 2-1 victories at the weekend - Millwall edged out Bristol City while Watford beat Norwich - but the Hornets have to prove they can cut it on the road having won just once in seven away games.

The Lions are a daunting proposition on home soil with five wins in seven matches and their recent upturn in form has coincided with the emergence of dynamic Dutchman Zian Flemming.

Watford possess real star quality in Keinan Davis and Ismaila Sarr but so do Millwall with summer signing Flemming, who after a slow start has rattled in five league goals in as many games.

The former Fortuna Sittard man is averaging over three shots per game this term and could showcase his talents in front of the Sky Sports cameras with another goal against Watford.

Key stat

Zian Flemming has netted three goals in his last two Championship starts at The Den, opening the scoring both times.
