TEAM NEWS
Kevin Kyle is suspended after his dismissal v Burnley last week whilst Arjan De Zeeuw is also suspended after picking up his fifth booking.

Iain Dowie has problems with his centre of defence, now that Robert Page has joined Huddersfield. Gary Borrowdale looks to be the man to come in at centre half. Stephen Hughes will replace Michael Hughes in midfield.

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett has doubts over Gary Alexander and Scott Barron. Marcus Bignot, Ahmet Brkovic and Zak Whitbread are all back in contention. (Former Sky Blue and City legend Richard Shaw, who wears the number 27 shirt, looks likely to be on the bench.

Jackett will start with former Chelsea keeper Rhys Evans in goal after Lenny Pidgely was dropped and appears on his way out of the club. Pidgely has been seen by many Wall supporters as the main reason why Millwall are in the position they are.

ON THE GAME
Iain Dowie said to the CT: "We need to be brave and we need to win. "I want to rip in to Millwall and get out of the traps and be aggressive."We got Julian Gray and Liam Davis, and Isaac Osbourne and Jay Tabb in the game early and, as a result we got a real hunger for the game and we have go to do that again. "We have got to be aggressive as full-backs, which is a key element in this league and that's what I expect them to do in what is a big, big game for us.

"We have worked hard this week and have the utmost respect for Millwall Football Club. "It is a place I know very well and a place where I have had one or two interesting receptions when I have been back with Palace and Charlton.
