Can we dominate The Den?

Leeds head to bitter rivals Millwall today off the back of a superb three points against Notts Forest. The Den seems to be a bogey ground for Leeds of late with the Whites losing their last two games there. Leeds will be confident going into the Lions Den winning three of their last five games and only losing two out of their previous 13 league matches.

When the sides met all the way back in August at Elland Road, Leeds were 3-1 victors. With Davide Somma scoring a brace and officially making himself known by all Leeds fans.

Millwall are aiming to put in a late surge to secure a play-off place, they currently sit in 8th spot six points off 6th placed Reading who are top of the league's form table. Last time out a well taken Steve Morison chip earned Millwall three points against Hull City.

It is sure to be a fierce contest with both sides topping the Championship's foul table Leeds (474) Millwall (470). Leeds' explosive attacking exploits are in line to be tested with Millwall keeping 18 clean sheets, second only to QPR. No team has beaten Leeds without scoring at least 2 goals this season. United have scored more goals (73) and have had more attempts on target (276) this season than any other side.

Grayson said earlier this week that he had numerous injury doubts for today's game however he was keeping his cards close to his chest and didn't reveal any names. The only known absence is Billy Paynter serving the second match of his three match ban.

The two sides were promoted with Norwich from League 1 last season and the rivalry is set to recommence today as the race for promotion hots up again at the Den today!
