Millwall face Fulham at Craven Cottage in midweek.
Millwall manager Neil Harris believes upcoming opponents Fulham are the best team in the Championship and claims it would be a travesty if the Whites failed to finish in the top two, South London Press reports.
“Fulham are a top side. I watched them last night and if you look at their team on paper – and bench – they are the best team in the league,” Harris explained.
“If they don’t get top two it will be a travesty. We’ll be the underdog, not fancied – people will be writing us off.”
Fulham defeated former Premier League opponents Huddersfield 2-1 in Yorkshire on Friday night. It was a fully deserved victory for Scott Parker’s side as they dominated the Terriers from start to finish.
The Whites have now won back-to-back games after enduring a disappointing opening day defeat at Barnsley.
In Aleksandar Mitrovic, Bobby Reid, Ivan Cavaleiro and Anthony Knockaert, Fulham have an attacking quartet which is the envy of most Championship clubs and should guarantee them lots of goals this season.
Millwall boss Neil Harris could be building up his side’s opponents to place extra pressure on them, but most will agree with his assumption that Fulham are the team to beat this season.
The Lions have started the season in superb fashion, taking seven points from three games. While most have predicted Fulham to get promoted, Millwall on the other hand have been tipped to struggle.
But the south London club have more strength in depth this season and new signings Bartosz Bialkowski, Matt Smith and Connor Mahoney have already made a big impact at the Den.
