    MIllwall welcome Hull City to The Den on Saturday (15:00 GMT) seeking a first win in five, and a first under Alex Neil in the Championship.

    The Lions are 14th and now 11 points adrift of the play-off places, with a seven-point gap to the third-bottom Tigers in the final relegation place.

    The Tigers ended a five-match losing streak on their travels with a win last time out at Blackburn, while they pinched a point at home to Leeds in their most recent home game.

    • Millwall have failed to win any of their past five league games against Hull City (D3 L2), failing to score in four of those matches. The London outfit last endured a longer such run against the Tigers between January 1967 and January 1970 (six games).

    • Hull City have won just two of their 26 away league games against Millwall (D10 L14), drawing on five of their past six EFL visits to The Den (L1).

    • Millwall have won just one of their past 11 league games (D5 L5), though that did come at home to Blackburn in December; in fact, only Plymouth (100%) have seen a greater proportion of their total Championship wins this season come at home than the Lions (86% - 6/7).

    • Hull City have picked up eight points from their seven league games under manager Rubén Sellés (W2 D2 L3), more than across their 12 Championship matches prior (6 - W1 D3 L8).

    • Hull's Abu Kamara scored twice last time out against Leeds United, as many goals as he netted across his previous 32 league appearances for the Tigers and Portsmouth combined; he has never scored in back-to-back league outings

  2. 'New Millwall signing Connolly needs run of games'published at 13:37 16 January

    Put simply, Aaron Connolly's time at Sunderland never really got going.

    He arrived late after a difficult summer dealing with personal issues which he bravely spoke about shortly after moving to Wearside.

    But by that time, Frenchman Wilson Isidor was finding his stride as the Black Cats' main man up front in boss Regis Le Bris' favoured 4-3-3 formation.

    Connolly needed a run of games to find his rhythm, but that never came.

    He scored his only goal in the 1-1 draw at Millwall in one of only two starts, but he did not even come off the bench in Sunderland's next game. That was proof of where he sat in the pecking order.

    The move to The Den is probably best for all parties because, as Connolly showed last season at Hull, there is a very talented Championship player waiting to come out.

    Millwall winger Romain Esse's move to Crystal Palace is edging closer, according to Lions boss Alex Neil.

    "There wasn't an issue," Neil said when asked if an injury ruled the 19-year-old out of their 3-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge in the FA Cup third round on Monday.

    "Crystal Palace have shown a lot of interest in Romain. I didn't make him available for the game and I think the situation is progressing and what I wouldn't do is put that at risk at this stage.

    "If that changes then Romain will be back in the squad."

    When asked if Esse's proposed move to Palace was more likely than it had been last week, Neil added: "Yeah, I think that's fair to say."

    He has scored five goals and provided one assist in 25 games in all competitions for Millwall this season.

    Palace are looking to sign a left wing-back and an attacker during this transfer window and alongside Esse have shown an interest in Liverpool loanee Ben Doak.

    Leeds, Sunderland, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby, Middlesbrough, Millwall and Coventry are among the clubs reported to be keen on taking Barry for a stint in the second tier for the remainder of the campaign.

    Speaking ahead of Villa's FA Cup third round clash with West Ham, Emery said: "(Barry) trained with us and we are going to make a plan with him, an overall plan,

    "I think he is a very good player who is progressing well. He has been on loan doing fantastic. Now we can have a new plan with him.

    "He improved because he was scoring a lot of goals on loan. With us he only trained today and yesterday. Of course we are going to try and get a good plan for the club with him."

    Crystal Palace are interested in Millwall winger Romain Esse.

    Palace are looking to sign a left wing-back and an attacker during this transfer window to bolster the options available to manager Oliver Glasner.
