Millwall v Sheffield Wednesday team line-ups: Nine changes for Lions from EFL Cup win

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

Millwall have made nine changes from their midweek EFL Cup win over West Bromwich Albion – only Aiden O’Brien and Murray Wallace retaining their places for today’s home game against Sheffield Wednesday.

Tom Bradshaw headed home his first goal for the Lions in midweek but drops to the bench as Matt Smith, pictured below, returns to spearhead the attack.

Frank Fielding is the only absentee for the Lions with the goalkeeper undergoing surgery on a quad injury last weekend.

The Lions are looking for a ninth clean sheet in 14 Championship matches but have won just one of their last 11 fixtures against Sheffield Wednesday. In saying that, the Owls have not taken maximum points at The Den since February 2015.

Former Crystal Palace midfielder Barry Bannan, who had been sidelined with a hamstring injury, is on the bench for Wednesday.

Millwall: Bialkowski, Romeo, Pearce, Cooper, M Wallace, J Wallace, Williams, Thompson, Mahoney, O’Brien, Smith. Subs: Steele, Hutchinson, Bradshaw, Ferguson, Leonard, Bodvarsson, Skalak.

Sheffield Wednesday: Westwood, Palmer, Lee, Harris, Fletcher, Borner, Murphy, Lees, Reach, Hutchinson, Iorfa. Subs: Dawson, Fox, Rhodes, Bannan, Nuhiu, Luongo, Odubajo.
