Ones to watch

Millwall - Jed Wallace

The attacker has scored eight goals so far this season for the Lions along with four assists, and will look to enter double figures for his goal tally again in the Championship.

Typically starting on the left in the front three, Wallace is a key asset to Millwall's attack. He's a threatening player going forward and always one the opposition should be wary of.

Middlesbrough - Neeskens Kebano

Signing in January, the 28-year-old winger is very skilful and brings a different dynamic style Boro' have been lacking previously.

Kebano has the ability to change the game and has a good chance to be involved in any goal scored by Saturday's visitors.
