Millwall v Fulham: Mahlon Romeo and Ryan Leonard in for Den derby

Mahlon Romeo makes his first league start of the season as one of two changes made by Millwall boss Gary Rowett for tonight’s home derby against Fulham.

The other change sees Ryan Leonard come into the midfield in place of George Evans.

Danny McNamara, who has started at right wing-back in the opening two Championship matches, makes way for Romeo.

Shaun Hutchinson, due to have a scan on Monday to determine the full extent of a quad injury, does not make the matchday squad for the hosts. Mason Bennett (ankle) is also ruled out.

Millwall have kicked off with two 1-1 draws, against QPR and Blackburn, but have failed to beat their west London opponents in their last six meetings.

Fulham have taken four points from a possible six but are missing Harry Wilson, who was sent off in Saturday’s 5-1 demolition of Huddersfield Town. Other unavailable players for Marco Silva are Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed and Terence Kongolo.

Millwall: Bialkowski, Ballard, M Wallace, Cooper, Romeo, Kieftenbeld, Leonard, Saville, Malone, Afobe, J Wallace. Subs: Long, McNamara, Bradshaw, Smith, Pearce, Mitchell, Evans.

Fulham: Gazzaniga, Tete, Tosin, Ream, Robinson, Seri, Onomah, Cavaleiro, Kebano, Carvalho, Mitrovic. Subs: Rodak, Odoi, Bryan, Mawson, Anguissa, Francois, Stansfield.
