    Millwall could be 2-0 up! George Saville's cross is almost turned in by Aiden O'Brien but the ball drifts wide.

    The hosts have started very well indeed in this one.

    Millwall 0-0 Wolves

    Millwall duo Jake Cooper and Jed Wallace have forced Wolves goalkeeper John Ruddy into the first two saves of the match.

    Wanderers have conceded only twice in their previous nine league outings, and haven't conceded at all in December.

    Meanwhile in League One, Simon Cox has given Southend a very early lead against Charlton

  9. YELLOW CARD (Cavaleiro)published at 6 mins

    Millwall 0-0 Wolves

    Millwall break quickly from a Wolves corner and had a couple of players over on the counter attack.

    Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro "takes one for the team", I think the phrase is, pulling back Tom Elliott and gets the first booking of the match.

    Millwall have made a very busy start, not allowing Wolves any time on the ball in the opening couple of minutes.
