Millwall will be looking to overcome their Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Bristol City in the Championship when they welcome home Watford. The match schedules for Tuesday at The Den with kickoff at 10 pm.
Meanwhile, Watford is currently on an impressive run of form and are looking to secure their fourth consecutive league victory.
Millwall’s first time in the FA Cup came to an end last weekend as Bristol City comfortably beat them. The side is exiting the competition in the fourth round.
Gary Rowett will have to keep an eye ahead of a busy schedule in the league action. He made eight changes to their starting lineup that secured the three points last weekend at Huddersfield. However, there still remains a gamble in team selection.
The Lions now turn their attention to the Championship where they are currently mid-table. The side remains nine points clear of the relegation zone and is 12 points behind their top-six race. Their last meeting with Watford ended in a 1-0 win in the FA Cup back in 2017.
On the other hand, Watford secured their third successive league victory as they overcame Stoke City in a 2-1 away win. The Hornets climbed third on the table after Troy Deeney’s goal and assist help the side move level on points with Swansea City in second place.
