Since Harris returned in late February the Lions have won at Southampton and now also defeated the table-topping Foxes.

The Lions are boosted by the return of Tom Bradshaw, who is fit enough to be named as one of the substitutes.

Back-to-back losses to relegation rivals have seen the Lions drop to just two points above the bottom three with table-topping Leicester City next up at The Den on Tuesday.

The loss, Millwall’s second in a row, drops the South London club to 20th in the standings.

Honeyman has started the last 10 league matches for the Lions and played the full 90 minutes in Neil Harris’ first four fixtures after returning as head coach.  

The Lions created five big chances at New York Stadium and had 21 shots – posting an xG (expected goals) of 2.10 to their opponent’s 0.90 – but were defeated 2-1.

If Millwall win they can punch a seven-point gap to the Terriers, who occupy the final drop spot, with only five matches remaining.

Neil Harris has emphasised the importance of getting Kevin Nisbet and Tom Bradshaw back into his Millwall matchday squad as soon as possible.

Wallace’s absence would leave Millwall short on that side of the pitch with Joe Bryan (groin) sitting out the fixture at New York Stadium.

The young Lions are in action against Leeds United this evening at Elland Road (7pm) looking to seal a final spot against Manchester City.
