Early season contrast

Millwall opened the season with a 2-0 win and sit level on three points with five other clubs, separated only by goal difference. A win here would take them to six points from two matches. Norwich lost 1-2 in their opening fixture and remain on zero; three points this weekend would lift them to three from two, while another defeat would leave them still searching for their first of the campaign.

Recent form offers a mixed picture for both. Millwall have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches. Norwich have the same number of wins — two — but with one draw and two defeats across the same span.

Recent meetings

The sides have met five times in recent seasons, those matches producing 14 goals. Millwall have won three, Norwich two. The most recent meeting ended 1-2; before that Millwall won 2-1. Earlier encounters finished 3-1, 1-2 and 1-0, each result swinging the ledger back the other way.

Millwall's summer included Jensen saves all four: Millwall's perfect shootout, a reminder that cup competition has already begun alongside the league campaign.

Confirmed line-ups

Millwall (4-3-3): Lukas Jensen, Zak Sturge, Mark Sykes, Caleb Taylor, Jake Cooper, Camiel Neghli, Casper de Norre, Jenson Metcalfe, Kyrell Lisbie, Josh Coburn, Taïryk Arconte

Norwich City (4-2-3-1): Vladan Kovacevic, Harry Darling, Kellen Fisher, Benjamin Chrisene, José Córdoba, Sam Field, Oscar Schwartau, Kenny McLean, Anis Slimane, Andre Brooks, Mohamed Toure
