Millwall vs West Brom preview: Team news, likely line-ups, score prediction
West Brom travel to Millwall on Saturday as they look for back-to-back wins.
It’s been an up-and-down start for the Baggies who were unbeaten in their first four games of the Championship before a loss to Derby at the Hawthorns.
Ryan Mason’s side then went on a three-game winless run, including the clash with the Rams, before a massive win away at Norwich midweek.
A first start of the season for Josh Maja paid off for Ryan Mason as his goal picked up all three points with a 1-0 win, their first at Carrow Road since August 2018, where they won 4-3.
Baggies fans look hopeful as they feel Mason is the man to take them back to the Premier League.
Albion sit just two points off the automatic places in fourth, while Millwall’s incredibly mixed start to the campaign has them down in 12th.

Teams News
Josh Maja could have a good chance of starting as he looks to find form similar to his run of goals at the start of last season, where he ended on 12 goals in 26 games.
After finding the net against Norwich, Maja was replaced after 60 minutes by Aune Selland Heggebo who has struggled since joining the club, netting just one goal in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough last month.
Charlie Taylor picked up a knock during Wednesday’s game, leaving him in doubt for the trip to Millwall.
There were no big injury scares for Mason’s side, leaving the fit and ready to go down in London.
Daryl Dike continues to be out injured, leaving Mason limited for options through the middle.
West Brom: Griffiths, Gilchrist, Mepham, Phillips, Styles, Mowatt, Molumby, Price, Johnston, Iling-Junior, Maja
