The knee is taken. No boos. Just smatterings of applause.

Relief all around. Respect.

Both sets of players have lined up arm in arm with the inclusivity banner to widespread applause, and cheer.

A big step.

Teams are on their way out at Millwall, where QPR are the visitors of course.

'Let 'em come' rings around the ground... followed by the Millwall roar...

Some lucky punters will be heading through the turnstiles tonight, at Millwall and Watford, as they are in tier 2 areas, which allow up to 2,000 supporters to attend under restrictions.

For the rest of us, it's a case of following by another other means necessary. That's where we come in.

Huddersfield's results might be a bit inconsistent of late but they are starting more things right than wrong under Carlos Corberan.

They were just edged out by in-form Stoke in a thriller, picked up decent wins against QPR and Middlesbrough, and only a thumping by Cardiff blotted the copy book. I have to mention Carel Eiting too - on loan from Ajax. Definite class act, there.

While the Terriers have gone continental in the search for success, Tony Pulis is the archetypal 'British gaffer' at Sheffield Wednesday, and was brought in for his remarkable track record of turning teams into tough-to-beat battlers.

He's yet to taste victory yet, and only Derby have scored fewer than their nine goals this season. Tony's going to need good omens - and he's got one. The Owls haven't lost a trip to Huddersfield in seven visits, and haven't conceded either.

Coventry City are sitting in 19th position in the Championship six points clear of the drop zone but go into tonight's game unbeaten in their last five matches.

They are looking to win consecutive league games in the second tier for the first time since 2012 after an impressive 3-1 win against Rotherham last time out.

Luton are looking more comfortable in midtable despite an away defeat to Swansea on Saturday.

The Hatters have lost their last two away games without scoring but are unbeaten in three league games against Coventry.

Can they avoid three away league defeats in a row?

We're more than a quarter of the way through the season and Watford haven't even given hint of pulling the plug on boss Vladimir Ivic... strange times.

To be fair, why would they? The Glory Hornet Boys are just four points off the summit just outside a congested top-six, and Saturday's defeat at Cardiff was their first since the end of October.

That said, rationality hasn't always seemed a Pozzo family trait (eight permanent bosses since October 2014...), not something that can be said of the Rotherham board, who have backed stalwart-turned-manager Paul Warne since his appointment in November 2016.

They have swung between the two divisions since, twice winning promotion after relegation. That faith remains tight despite a run of five games without a win, and just three all season so far.

Tonight might not be the ideal game to snap that streak.

Back-to-back wins for Stoke heading into this one who will be looking to make it three wins in a row after overcoming Middlesbrough in their last outing.

The Potters are looking solid at the back too and could keep four consecutive clean sheets in the league for the first time since April last year.

Cardiff are also in great form, they can go four games unbeaten with a win tonight.

The Bluebirds have also kept a clean sheet in each of those previous three wins.

This will be a intriguing game to say the least.

A big game at the top between two promotion contenders.

Swansea sit just a point behind tonight's visitors to the Liberty Stadium and could go top with a win as Reading and Norwich are both in action respectively tomorrow evening.

The Swans have a good record at home of late having won four of their last five home games in the league, keeping a clean sheet in each victory.

However, they have won none of their last seven league matches against Bournemouth since a 4-1 win in League One in 2007 under Roberto Martinez.

The Cherries know a win is vital if they are to keep the pressure on leaders Norwich.

Jason Tindall will be hoping his side can keep the goals flowing after a 4-0 victory over Barnsley in their last game.

They have only lost two games so far this season winning four of their last six.

Let's have a look at the other fare on offer tonight.

Big one at the top end, most notably.

Both these sides are looking to snap a slump.

Millwall are without a win in eight, but they're still a threat. Jed Wallace always a danger, and Tottenham loanee Troy Parrott another player with potential.

QPR have lost the past three and have seen some key names depart, notably Eberechi Eze. Much rests on the shoulders of big Lyndon Dykes and Bright Oseyi-Samuel.

Fans attending tonight's game will receive this letter, calling for togetherness from supporters.

"United for change.

"This is one of the most important days in Millwall's history.

"Last night the club released a statement announcing its new United for Change initiative. Lions fans from all over the world were unanimous in their support.

"It is your duty and responsibility as a member of the crowd tonight to continue that superb backing.

"Before kick-off, our players and those from QPR, will link arms in a show of unity and togetherness towards the fight against discrimination.

"We know that the crowd, as has always been the case, will be fully supportive of that gesture.

"As also was made clear last night, we ask that those opposition players taking the knee are respected, as it is their right to do so.

"The eyes of the world are on this football club tonight - your club - and they want us to fail.

"Together as one, we will not let that happen."

Millwall players will not take a knee before the game against QPR but will stand arm-in-arm in a "show of solidarity for football's fight against discrimination".

It comes after some Millwall fans booed the players taking a knee before Saturday's defeat by Derby at The Den.

Players of both teams will collectively hold up an anti-racism banner.

The Lions' regular shirt sponsor will be replaced with the logo of anti-discrimination body Kick It Out.

How do you do? Another weeknight, another round of EFL fixtures in this relentless campaign.

We've got much to get through.

Let's start with the week's big talking point. Millwall and QPR, in action at the Den.

There are also two fixtures in League Two tonight as well.

North Lincolnshire is the hotspot tonight too, keeping BBC Radio Humberside busy.

Grimsby entertain Newport, and Scunthorpe welcoming Colchester. Both are currently goalless.

We've got a substantial meal to go with your frothing pint, a feast of football that is.

As we've already said, there has been little focus on the actual football going into Millwall and QPR's encounter. On the pitch it will be a feisty London derby. Let's hope that's what we're talking about.

The carrot of top spot awaits Swansea or second-placed Bournemouth with victory in their meeting in south Wales, while in-form Stoke City might also find themselves in the automatic spots if results go their way at home to Cardiff.

Watford have their eyes on the top-six as they approach the visit of Rotherham United whose focus is very much away from the bottom-three.

Coventry versus Luton and a Yorkshire derby between Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday complete the Championship's fixture schedule.

We'll cover that more in depth shortly, but let's crack on.

We're headed for tier two tonight, where the social distancing between the Championship clubs has been a bit lax of late.

Just four points separate leaders Norwich City and Bristol City down in eighth, as a whole heap of clubs have their eye on tier one.

While at the bottom there's the same gap between bottom club Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United in 20th. No one wants to drop into tier three...

Millwall are in action tonight against QPR.

The clubs, along with the English Football League and Kick It Out have been in dialogue.

There will be a new approach for the Lions, in showing their collective support in the fight against discrimination.

Tonight should be about football. And it will.

But, there will be a lot of focus on affairs away from the pitch after boos from fans at Millwall's game against Derby on Saturday as players took the knee for Black Lives Matter.
