Millwall host Leeds United this weekend.

Millwall manager Neil Harris is looking forward to facing Leeds United this weekend.

Harris referenced Saturday’s upcoming fixture, speaking after Millwall’s 1-1 draw away at Luton Town on Wednesday night.

Millwall gave Leeds a tough game last season at The Den and the Whites needed an 89th minute equaliser from Jack Harrison to secure a point.

Harris told Millwall’s official website he wants his side to show the same type of commitment.

He said: “Every game for us will be a battle, we have to fight for every point. This is a great level for us to be at, and again we will set up at the weekend to be hard to beat and to try and use the ball well.

“There were some really strong individual performances, and we can go on to look to enjoy Saturday now against Leeds.”

Leeds are in second place in the Championship but have only won two of their last five matches.

Millwall are in 18th, without a win in their last five but have drawn their last two.

Harris believes this little bit of resilience they have shown lately gives his side belief going into the Leeds game.

Leeds will be without injured captain Liam Cooper, which complicates their task against a physical Millwall attack.
