Preview: Birmingham City vs. Millwall

After losing four of their opening six games, Millwall have won their last three in the Championship and will look to make it four when they travel to Birmingham City on Tuesday night.

Steve Lomas's side now sit 16th in the table and are four points ahead of opponents Birmingham (19th) going into the match.

Lomas could welcome back Steve Morison, who was ineligible to face his parent club Leeds United on Saturday, in place of Jermaine Easter up front.

Shane Lowry is also available after serving a three-match ban but may find it hard to regain his left-back spot from Scott Malone, who scored the second in a 2-0 victory over Leeds.

For the hosts, manager Lee Clark may decide to start Nikola Zigic ahead of Matt Green up front, while Shane Ferguson could also begin the match from the left wing after coming on in Saturday's home defeat to Reading.

An encouraging stat for Clark is that Birmingham have not lost against Millwall in their last 10 matches.

Both games between the pair finished as a draw last season, with Marlon King scoring a hat-trick for the Blues at The Den last October.
