All roads lead to London SE16 tonight, well, for quite a few thousand people they do. The vast majority will be expecting a home win as Millwall take on a beleaguered Swansea City on Den Zampa Road tonight. The upper tier away end will just be hoping it isn’t another defeat and something can be taken from the game.

Unconfirmed news is that Joe Allen won’t play this evening and Ollie Cooper could find himself on the bench. There has been little time to get over the disappointment of Saturday’s 1-3 loss to Middlesbrough. Azeem Abdulai has travelled with the squad. Match favourites Millwall seem to be fit with no new injuries for tonight’s game. Millwall fans don’t expect to see Billy Mitchell or Mason Bennett for a few more weeks, and Tyler Burey is also out. Callum Styles will be lucky to return to Millwall reckoning this season.

Swansea City’s last five results don’t bode well for the trip to South London tonight.

Millwall are in the top six and looking for three more points.

Post match on Saturday Jay Fulton referenced his sides defeat but thinks things are getting better. “The goals were conceded were pretty poor but I think we went toe-to-toe with a team that are third in the league and on an unbelievable run. Their form has been good, they've got good players and they're an athletic team and I think we caused them problems. As I've said the last few games, it's all about taking each game as it comes. We'll recover, get ready and go again on Tuesday.” Swans fans can only hope but that second half on Saturday was pretty poor.

Millwall have the third best home record in the league this season behind Middlesbrough and Burnley. Manager Gary Rowett is loving the time he and his squad are having. "We're enjoying it at the moment - we're attacking it and trying to win every single game," Rowett said. We have two home games now and we should go and embrace and enjoy it. Go and see if we can do at home what we have done so often, which is get the points against whichever team we are playing regardless. There's a slap in the chops around the corner and you've got to make sure you just do everything you can to win games and roll with the punches," he added. It's not the time of season to be worrying about things. It's not the time of season to be super-analysing every defeat or every game, it's just 'move on, where's the next one' and if we don't win the game - like Norwich - then we dust ourselves off and go again”

Millwall came back with two injury time goals at the Swansea.com stadium earlier in the season at a time the Swans were looking good value for the season at that point. Nowadays things are very different, the fall from fourth in the league to seventeenth hasn’t been a graceful one. The manager is under fire and the fans are as apathetic as they have been since those dark days of Silver Shield, Tony Petty and the turn of the century.

The Swans are eleven points above the relegation places with ten games to go with the feeling just the one win will keep the wolves from the door. Don’t count on this fixture being as straight forward as people think with the Swans continued positve mindset something surely has to go right at some point ?

Tickets are available for Swansea City fans tonight at The Den. From 5.30pm they can be purchased from the north stand ticket office, cards or cash. The game kicks off at 7.45pm.
