Millwall vs Leeds LIVE commentary: Championship rivals attempt to end slumps – kick-off time, team news and how to follow

Both Millwall and Leeds will look to bounce back from their shaky starts to the season when they face each other this weekend.

The Championship teams will return to action for the first time since 2019/20 following Leeds’ relegation.

The Whites were among the favorites to secure an immediate return to the Premier League, but have won just one of their first five matches.

Daniel Farke’s men languish in 15th with six points, with Millwall three places above despite having accumulated just one more point.

The Lions, who finished just outside the play-offs last season, have not lost at home to Leeds since March 2012.

Both clubs are looking to bounce back from disappointing draws before the international break, with Millwall holding Birmingham to a 1-1 stalemate while Leeds took a point at Sheffield Wednesday.
