Unbeaten in 9 and having not conceded a goal in over 300 minutes of competitive football, Derby County will be full of confidence as they face Millwall this Saturday at the iPro Stadium.

The same can't be said, however, for a Millwall side without a win in five. Ian Holloway's men only managed to pick up a single point throughout the whole of September; a 0-0 draw with highflyers Nottingham Forest. Having said that, Millwall can take confidence from the fact that they are the last side to go to the iPro and win, albeit way back in March.

If you ask Derby boss Steve McClaren, he will tell you that he believes Millwall will be a 'dangerous' opponent. Many will expect The Lions to put 10 men behind the ball and make it difficult for Derby; however, should Millwall replicate the form they showed at the start of the season then they may provide The Rams with a tough test.

A win for Derby could see them top the Championship table going into the international break, whereas for Millwall they will hope they can create some daylight between themselves and the bottom three.
