BY ALEX GRACE

Gary Rowett has made one change to his Millwall side for this afternoon’s trip to face Middlesbrough.

Ryan Leonard returns in central midfield with Shaun Williams dropping to the bench.

The Lions will line up in a 5-2-3 formation with Alex Pearce, Shaun Hutchinson and Jake Cooper the three central defenders.

It is the same front three that started against QPR, Troy Parrott will play through the middle with Jed Wallace and Mason Bennett either side of him.

Connor Mahoney is still unavailable but the Lions do have Matt Smith on the bench to boost attacking options alongside Tyler Burey.
