Millwall manager Alex Neil has introduced four changes to the team as they kick off the 2026 calendar year on the south coast. Femi Azeez is back from suspension and will start on the right wing, with Camiel Neghli shifting inside and Thierno Ballo taking a spot on the left.
In the midfield, Ryan Leonard returns to the starting lineup, partnering Alfie Doughty. This marks Leonard's first start since November 1, providing a boost to the team's engine room. Macaulay Langstaff has been chosen to lead the forward line.
Mihailo Ivanovic has been ruled out of the squad due to a slight knock sustained during the recent match against Bristol City. The team's formation is set to be a 4-2-3-1, with Liam Crocombe in goal and a defensive line of Crama, Taylor, Cooper, and Sturge.
