Millwall – Stoke City

Millwall host Stoke City in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the Lions sitting 13th on nine points after three wins and three defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at 11‑11. Stoke sit just above them in 10th place, having amassed ten points from three victories, a draw and three losses, also with an identical 11‑11 goal record. Both sides have shown equal offensive and defensive output this season, so the match could easily swing the balance in the table. A win for either side would not only close the narrow points gap but also provide a vital boost in confidence as the league progresses.
