Preview: Bournemouth vs. Millwall

Two of the Championship's mid-table sides meet on Saturday when Bournemouth face Millwall.

The hosts have dropped to 13th in the league after drawing one and losing two of their last three matches, including Tuesday night's defeat at Leeds United.

Millwall, who sit three places behind the Cherries, suffered their first defeat in four outings on Tuesday when they lost 4-0 at Birmingham City.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe will be without goalkeeper Ryan Allsop after he was sent off at Elland Road, so Darryl Flahavan is expected to deputise.

Jack Collison is in line to retain his place in the starting XI following his loan move from West Ham United.

Millwall manager Steve Lomas may be tempted to make changes to his side, with Richard Chaplow and Jermaine Easter pushing for starts.
