Hull v Millwall

Last updated : 01 April 2011 By BBC Sport

Millwall defender Alan Dunne is suspended after being sent off against Cardiff and could be replaced by Jack Smith, who is fit after a thigh injury.

Jimmy Abdou (knee) is still out, but Paul Robinson is fine despite suffering a cut eye in the Cardiff game.

MATCH PREVIEW

Millwall won 3-0 at Burnley in their last away match - a shock result that was their first victory in 10 away games, ended a great run by the Lancashire side, and threw Kenny Jackett's men back into the promotion race.

Now the Lions will be trying to pull off another away triumph against another in-form play-off rival. Hull, who have lost only two of their last 14 matches, have been closing in on the top six but Millwall will go above them if the London side win Saturday's game.

It would also complete their first league 'double' over Hull for 23 years, and add insult to the Tigers' injury following their 4-0 thrashing at The Den earlier this season - a result the Humbersiders would dearly love to avenge.

Hull's home form suggests Millwall can travel north with some confidence. Only six of City's 14 wins have come at the KC Stadium, and they are the only Championship club yet to have scored more than two goals in a home match this season.
