Millwall v Stoke City team line-ups: Four changes for Lions as Norton-Cuffy makes debut

Millwall manager Gary Rowett has made four changes for today’s home game against Stoke City – handing a debut to Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

Joe Bryan, Tom Bradshaw and Ryan Leonard all start for the Lions, who lost 3-1 at Norwich City last weekend.

Danny McNamara, Murray Wallace, Duncan Watmore and Romain Esse are the players to make way.

Norton-Cuffy signed on a season-long loan from Arsenal on Thursday and replaces McNamara at right wing-back.

Millwall look set to revert to a back five with Bryan, who missed the Norwich reverse after jarring his neck and back, coming straight back in. Leonard is expected to play on the right of the three central defenders.

The South Londoners have won four of their last five Championship matches against Stoke – losing one – and did not concede as they did the double over them last season.

Millwall: Sarkic, Norton-Cuffy, Leonard, Hutchinson, Cooper, Bryan, Saville, Mitchell, Flemming, Nisbet, Bradshaw. Subs: Bialkowski, McNamara, Wallace, Evans, Watmore, Voglsammer, Emakhu, Esse, Harding.

Stoke City: Travers, Stevens, Vidigal, Johnson, Tymon, Thompson, Wilmot, Hoever, Wesley, McNally, Laurent. Subs: Bonham, Pearson, Burger, Campbell, Gayle, Mmaee, Leris, Sidibe, Okagbue.
