Millwall
Mason Bennett was forced off injured during last Saturday's 3-2 win at home to Norwich and has joined Tom Bradshaw and Zian Flemming on the sidelines.

Match preview

Norwich picked up their first win of the Championship season on Tuesday with a 2-1 success at home to Huddersfield, but they are yet to keep a clean sheet and a shutout may elude them when they tackle Millwall at Carrow Road.

The Canaries are odds-on to make it two wins from two but a betterd wager could be backing both teams to score in what should be an entertaining encounter.

Millwall have a knack of punching above their weight in the Championship and have registered three successive top-half finishes.

The Lions' success has often been based on solid defence but they have looked more attack-minded this season and have scored seven goals in four matches.

Gary Rowett's side have showed amazing powers of recovery in their last two matches.

Last Saturday they came from two-nil down to win 3-2 at home to Coventry and on Tuesday they scored two injury-time goals to force a 2-2 at Swansea.

The Londoners' attacking options have been reduced with Mason Bennett, Tom Bradshaw and Zian Flemming in the treatment room, but busy midfielder George Honeyman has looked a threat in the number ten position and pacy forwards Tyler Burey and Benik Afobe offer an excellent outlet on the counter-attack.

Norwich may struggle to keep a lid on Millwall's lively forwards but they are looking more potent in attack and were worthy winners against Huddersfield despite the absence of star striker Teemu Pukki.

Fitness permitting there could be a swift return for the Finn against Millwall but either way Norwich should score for a fifth successive match.
