West Bromwich Albion return to The Hawthorns in the Sky Bet Championship as Millwall make the trip to the Black Country on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm).
The Baggies are fresh off two away trips in the second tier, having earned hard-fought points at Bristol City and Watford. And they will be eyeing victory this weekend to cap off their first week back in action following the international break.
The visitors come into the clash full of confidence, though, having bested Rotherham United 3-0 in their midweek clash at The Den on Wednesday evening.
Their triumph means the Lions sit 11th in the table just a point ahead of the Baggies, who find themselves in 15th after seven games of the 2023/24 campaign.

The opponents
It's been an inconsistent start, to say the least, for Albion's opponents this weekend.
Their last two fixtures are proof of this, with Millwall bouncing back from shipping three goals in a 3-0 home defeat against Leeds by winning by the same scoreline against Rotherham in their most recent outing.
Overall, Saturday's visitors have managed three victories, three defeats and a solitary draw from their opening matches, and the Lions will be hoping a squad full of Championship knowhow will help them push for the promotion places once again this term.
Jake Cooper, Tom Bradshaw, Alan Campbell and Bartosz Białkowski all boast plenty of second-tier experience. While Dutchman Zian Flemming - who moved to east London last summer from Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard - is another influential player in Gary Rowett's side who Albion will need to be wary of in the attacking third.
There are a couple of links between the two sides heading into Saturday's encounter, with Baggies skipper Jed Wallace racking up more than 200 appearances for Millwall during his five-year stint in the capital, and midfielder Jayson Molumby also spent a season at The Den on loan from Brighton before he touched down at The Hawthorns. He netted twice for the Lions during his time at the club.
One to remember
Albion beat Millwall 2-0 at The Hawthorns in September 2018 thanks to two second-half strikes.
The hosts opened the scoring 22 minutes from time courtesy of Dwight Gayle's effort before Kieran Gibbs doubled the lead eight minutes later.

Did you know?
Albion's home record against the Lions in league proceedings is a formidable one.
In fact, the last league victory for Millwall at The Hawthorns came back in 2001 - a game which featured the likes of Sean Dyche, Tim Cahill, Steve Claridge and Steven Reid in Millwall's XI.
The only other encounter which resulted in a Millwall victory at B71 came in the First Round of the EFL Cup back in 2019.
Albion will be hoping to maintain their envious home record against the Londoners this weekend.
