Team news

Derby will be without top scorer Carlton Morris throughout the festive period and into January due to a knee injury.

Fellow frontman Rhian Brewster is closing in on a comeback following a muscle problem, though this game will come too soon.

Full-back Max Johnston is unavailable due to a hamstring issue, while midfielders Lewis Travis and David Ozoh are not expected to return until later this month.

As for Millwall, centre-forward Josh Coburn is out with a hip injury, while midfielders Luke Cundle and Ryan Leonard are also sidelined.

Massimo Luongo is a long-term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury and likely will not feature again this season.

The stats

Derby have lost three in four games, but before that run had won five straight Championship matches.

Millwall have kept seven clean sheets and lead the way for the most shutouts in the second tier.

Prediction

Derby have shown great character, fight and resilience this Championship campaign as they aim to improve on last season's 19th-place finish.

In mid-October, fans were fearful as the Rams had managed just one win across all competitions. However, Derby then won five straight league games to shoot up the table.

Since then, John Eustace's side have lost three in four, so it will be interesting to see how they fare against high-flying Millwall.

The Lions head to Pride Park as favourites after winning three straight games, including a 1-0 triumph at Bristol City on Saturday.

They have claimed a total of seven victories from their last 11 league clashes to put them firmly in the play-off places.

Alex Neil's men are just two points off second place in the Championship and have the momentum to beat a faltering Derby away from home.

While the three points should go to Millwall on Wednesday, a smart pick could be to back both teams to score.

Derby's last seven matches have seen both sides find the net, while before keeping a clean sheet last time out, the Lions had conceded 10 goals in their previous four games on the road.
