Match Preview

For the first time in fourteen years, Millwall host West Ham United in a Championship fixture that reopens one of London's bitterest rivalries. West Ham's relegation has dropped a Premier League name into South London, adding needle to a game both clubs have circled since fixtures were released. The Hammers arrive full of early promise, sitting second under Nuno Espírito Santo after three wins from their opening six matches, scoring freely with 14 goals. Millwall have been streakier under Alex Neil, alternating big wins with heavy defeats but sitting on a similar points tally. Watch Jarrod Bowen and loanee Joël Piroe for West Ham's attack, while Millwall will lean on Mihailo Ivanović and new arrival Lyndon Dykes, who scored twice last time out. The sides haven't met since West Ham won 2-1 at Upton Park back in February 2012. Our prediction: 1-2
