Millwall v Middlesbrough - Sky Bet Championship
Millwall and Middlesbrough lock horns in the EFL Championship on Saturday

Fresh off the back of a stunning victory over Chelsea in the EFL Cup semi-finals, Middlesbrough visit the Den to face Millwall in round 27 of the EFL Championship.

The Lions head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive wins in the league and will look to continue their surge into the top half of the table.

Millwall were sent crashing back to earth last Saturday when they suffered a narrow 3-2 loss against Leicester City in the FA Cup third round.

Adam Barrett’s men now turn their sights to the EFL Championship, where they are on a three-game winning streak, scoring four goals and keeping four clean sheets since Boxing Day.

With 32 points from 26 matches, Millwall are currently 16th in the EFL Championship table, level on points with Swansea City and Blackburn Rovers.

Despite missing a plethora of key players due to injury, Middlesbrough turned in a solid team performance on Tuesday as they picked up a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final clash.

Manager Michael Carrick will hope their midweek win can serve as a catalyst for a fine run of form as Boro look to strengthen their position in the top half of the table.

After a poor start to the season, Middlesbrough currently sit 15th in the EFL Championship standings, level on 36 points with Bristol City and Watford.
