Boro aim for fourth straight win

Middlesbrough visit the capital for their lunchtime clash at Millwall on Saturday (kick-off 12.45pm).

Boro will be looking to build on successive home wins in the league but they must do so without skipper Rhys Williams. The Australian international is expected to be out of action until the New Year with ankle ligament damage.

Midfield pair Nicky Bailey (hamstring) and Kevin Thomson (calf) are also still missing while striker Lukas Jutkiewicz is back in training from medial knee ligament surgery but not yet ready for a recall.

Defender Jonathan Woodgate travels down with the rest of the squad after sitting out the last couple of games. Otherwise, winger Mustapha Carayol should also be fine despite being substituted in the midweek Capital One Cup victory at Gillingham.

Millwall are expected to name an unchanged squad from that which lost to Sheffield Wednesday last week. It means there is no return yet for either Paul Robinson or Tam Mkandawire.

Jack Smith is also ruled out after collecting an injury against Blackpool while Darren Ward has moved on loan to Swindon Town.
