    The Liam Manning era at Carrow Road begins with the visit of Millwall to face Norwich City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

    Alex Neil's Lions eventually finished five places and nine points ahead of the Canaries last season, though missed out on the play-off places on a dramatic final day.

    • Norwich City are unbeaten across their last 21 home league games against Millwall since November 1968 (W14 D7), their longest ever run against an opponent.

    • Millwall have won two of their last three league games against Norwich City (L1), as many victories as across their prior 15 meetings with the Canaries combined (D3 L10).

    • Norwich have won just one of their last eight opening day league fixtures that have come on home soil (D3 L4), though that sole victory did come in their last with a 2-1 win over Hull City in August 2023.

    • Millwall lost 3-2 against Watford in their opening league match last season, last losing on MD1 in consecutive campaigns in 2012-13/2013-14.

    • Since 25 January (their first win under manager Alex Neil), only promoted sides Burnley (44) and Leeds (41) have earned more points in the Championship than Millwall (35 – W11 D2 L6).

    Kamarl Grant has yet to play a first-team game for Millwall

    Millwall defender Kamarl Grant has signed a new "long-term" contract with the Championship club.

    The 22-year-old has signed a deal which Millwall say will keep Grant at the club for the "foreseeable future".

    Grant has yet to play a first team game for the Lions but impressed in a pre-season game with Sutton United earlier this week.

    He spent the last season on loan at Bromley in League Two, having helped the club reach the National League play-offs the season before.

    "Kamarl deserves this deal," director of football Steve Gallen said.

    "He has had a couple of really good loans over the last few years and we've been watching his development closely. I am really pleased with his progress."

    George Evans made four appearances for Millwall at the end of last season

    Millwall goalkeeper George Evans has signed a new "long-term" contract at The Den.

    The 20-year academy graduate made his debut in a 4-1 defeat against Blackburn Rovers last season when regular number one Lukas Jensen was injured and back-up stopper Liam Roberts was suspended.

    Evans started the following three games, conceding eight goals as the Lions finished the season with two wins and two defeats.

    He will compete with new signing Max Crocombe and current number one Jensen in the Lions' goalkeeper department for the coming season.

    The club did not state the length of Evans' deal.

    Alex Neil's side travel to Norwich City on the opening weekend of the Championship season.

  20. 'Right time' to leave Boro - Millwall's Coburn

    Josh Coburn reflects on his time at Middlesbrough

    Josh Coburn says it was the "right time" to leave Middlesbrough after he signed for Millwall last week.

    The 22-year-old forward, who spent last season on loan with the Lions, spoke to BBC Radio Tees' Mark Drury to reflect on his time at the Riverside Stadium.

    Listen to the full interview and more on BBC Sounds.

    Another transfer window, another Millwall club record deal.

    The news of Josh Coburn's move to The Den for a reported £5m deal, including various performance related add-ons, was met with near universal approval around the Millwall scene - which is no mean achievement by the Lions' recruiting team.

    Josh made 21 appearances on loan from Middlesbrough last term and his physical presence alongside our Serbian prospect Mihailo Ivanovic, generated 18 goals between them in a front two pairing that made my old eyes go all misty with nostalgia.

    Clearly head coach Alex Neil sees strong development potential in Coburn, playing alongside Iva in a front two system.

    Already the internet memes comparing them to the classic 1980's Teddy Sheringham and Tony Cascarino strike force are doing the rounds. All we need now is a new Terry Hurlock-style midfielder to really get the Bermondsey juices flowing...

    Exciting times at The Den, then. As ever, Lions fans will be forever grateful for the continuing backing of the Berylson family.
