PREVIEW | Millwall vs Norwich City - team news, lineups, predictions

Millwall and Norwich City clash this Monday at The New Den in Matchweek 44 of the EFL Championship.

The Lions have amassed 60 points and currently lie in 9th position, Alex Neil's side's potential play-off charge abruptly ended by a 4-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on Good Friday. 

Norwich City are seven points back from their hosts in 13th position, Johannes Thorup's team also on the back of a heavy defeat having lost 3-5 against Portsmouth at Carrow Road. 

The last meeting between the two teams saw Norwich merge 2-1 winners. 

The Fan Zone 

Omer (That Millwall Podcast): Well… so much for the Easter surge. A 4-1 thumping away at Blackburn wasn’t exactly in the script after the momentum we’d built. Three wins on the spin had us daring to dream, but Friday brought us crashing back down. We were flat, second best, and truthfully looked patched up all over the pitch. Missing Jensen, Roberts, and Bryan really told — the spine just wasn’t there, and we couldn’t impose ourselves like we had been.

Now we’re six points off the play-offs with three to play, and the goal difference makes it feel more like seven. It’s not impossible, but it’s a long shot — and deep down, it feels like we might just be running out of road.

That said, Easter Monday at The Den still means something. We’ve got pride to play for, and the crowd will expect a response. I think we’ll go for it - and I’m backing us to make a proper game of it despite the injuries, I’ll go with a 2-2 draw. It won’t change our season, but it might just give us a glimmer of what’s to come in the future.

Prediction: 2-2

Stephen Gillett (Playmaker Stats on Norwich): The Canaries' season is fizzling out badly and their 5-3 defeat on home turf against Portsmouth provided a stark reminder of how defensively porous they have been all season. 

Only four teams in the division have shipped more goals than Norwich this term, and their vulnerability at the back is undermining their obvious strength in attack (they are the second top scorers in the Championship with 66 goals). 

All of that to say: there are likely to be goals at both ends in south London today. We'll also back a scoring draw. 

Prediction: 2-2
