The on-loan Derby County defender will play at left wing-back as Lions boss Gary Rowett opts for a three-man defence in West Sussex.

Former Lions Tony Craig and Jack Powell are in Crawley’s starting line up.

Millwall: Bialkowski, Leonard, Hutchinson, Cooper, M Wallace, Malone, Woods, Thompson, Bennett, Mahoney, Smith. Subs: Wright, Pearce, Williams, Burey, Skalak, J Wallace, Bradshaw.
